Lincoln Week/Senior Night!

Parents and Students,
I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Its hard to believe that it is time for the final regular season game of the season. This week we will not only start our preparation for the playoffs but also we will recognize and celebrate our seniors contributions to the Childersburg community and band. Here are the announcements for the week:

• Senior Night is this Thursday. Seniors please be on the look out for information about the night early this week. Parents are encouraged to be present and will have two free tickets for the game.
• To reward our students for their hard work during the football season the band will try to take a Charter bus to our first playoff game in Andalusia Alabama. To help fund the $1400 bus trip each students is asked to bring in $20 by Wednesday for the trip. Otherwise we will take a regular school bus.
• This Tuesday the March Fourth Marching Band will perform at the Ritz Theatre in Talladega. Several Childersburg student will be performing with them. The concert is at 7:30pm.
• The game this week is on Thursday. Here is the itinerary: Lincoln Game. Due to Senior night our report time will be thirty minutes early. Students will need to report at 5:00pm.
• Due to the game on Thursday we will have rehearsal on Tuesday from 3:30-5:00pm.

Have a great week and thank you senior.

Homecoming Week!!!

Parents and Students,
I hope everyone has had a safe and enjoyable long weekend. It is now time to start one of our busiest/ best weeks of the year homecoming week! Below you will find several announcements about this weeks activities:

• Thank you to all those parents and students who sold fruit. Do to your hard work the band was able to reach its goal and raise over $2000 dollars for the band program.  This will go to covering are general band expenses as well as help prepare us for the future with new instruments and materials.
• As you will see in the itinerary. At this time I am planning on have two rehearsal this week. Tomorrow afternoon at our usual time 3:30-5:00 and also on Thursday from 3:30-4:15. There is a chance our schedule will change and if it does I will let the students know tomorrow. 
• This Thursday is our homecoming parade, if we do not have rehearsal students will need to report to the old school grounds in full uniform no later than 4:15pm. All students are expected to march in the parade with the band. 
• Here is the itinerary for this weeks events. Homecoming Week

Leeds Week!!!

Parents and Students,
First and foremost a want to take a small opportunity to brag about our students. This weekend the Childersburg Band participated in the Chief Ladiga Marching Competition and did an outstanding job. We did not walk away with the superiors we had hoped for but standing on that field Saturday afternoon I could not have been more proud of the performance and work ethic of these students. They definitely represented Childersburg with a lot of pride and class and nothing makes me more proud as a band director.
Now it is time to prepare for our next goals. Which includes supporting our team into the play-offs and preparing for our christmas concert and MPA in the spring. I can not wait for this next chapter for this year. Here are several announcements for this week:

• Fruit Orders are Due Tomorrow. All fruit orders are due tomorrow so we can make sure to have the order in as soon as possible. 
• This week we will not rehearse on Monday or Tuesday, we will rehearse Thursday to prepare for our game on Friday.
• Friday we travel to Leeds High School. Here is the itinerary: Leeds. 
• You will notice there are two options for our trip Friday. That is because as an incentive for the fruit fundraiser I offered a trip to the Outlet Shops at Grand River if the band was able to meet our fundraising goal of $5000. I will know no later than tuesday if we will be taking that option and will post the results here. If this happens I will also be looking for Chaperones for that trip. 

Band Pride!!!
