Payments

Hello My Wonderful Band Family,

    I have had a lot of questions about making your band payments, thanks so much for wanting to do that!! We will be at the Fireworks Thursday evening, if you need to bring forms or payments.  Thank you so much to all who volunteered to help out.  If you can join us or come see the show. 
     Remember that the first day of Band Camp is July 20th and we are venturing to Cajun Field for the Drum and Bugle Corp Show.  If you plan to attend, tickets are $22.  We need to know you are coming to order the right number of tickets.
    Also, I wanted to give you the address again to send payments if that is more convenient.

We have a big "shipment" of concessions products for this Thursday's PARD Fireworks show.

If you are in the immediate vicinity (close to) the school, and have a few minutes, can you help load and reload these supplies (drinks, chips, etc.)? It's a lot of stuff.

Please...You don't have to make a special trip, but if you are near, we would appreciate your help. And yes, the weather has passed over...for now.

Thanks,

FINAL Spring 2015 TWIB

Band... Now Read This!!

Wow! That was quick...the whole school year!

As we are closing this year, and starting another, please allow me to say thank you to all of you for another terrific "family get together" this 2014-15! We accomplished a lot in so many aspects of band life: skill, musicianship, rigor of music, drill, expression in MB, Symphonic, Guard, Percussion, Boosters involvement, and we had fun in Jazz! So much to look back on and just go..WOW!Thank you all for being part of the Greenwave Family!

Great job this past week with everything we had going on. We especially did a first class job in musical support for the USS Ponchatoula Memorial Dedication. I wish that the sound system had been better so that you could have heard the rhetoric from the speakers' platform! We looked and sounded great! So many of the Shipmates and folks in the audience were impressed and appreciative of our presence and contribution to the ceremony. Kudos to the moms and pops for your logistics support. (That was the mission of the USS Ponchatoula  and the theme of the Admiral's comments yesterday morning).

The "end of the world" party was a huge success! Thanks Lacey and Jeremy (MWR) and all of the moms who pitched in, and the "grill master" dad (Deputy Dad! Thanks!) for finishing up on the burgers! I hope that everyone enjoyed the DJ and photo booth! And seniors who gave their testimonies... you are and will always be special to our Greenwave Band family. We are proud of you and will miss you.

See the TWIB for this week... we're almost done!

Listen in class for additional details.

Graduation ASR on Tuesday, Practice with the Class of 2015 @ SLU University Center on Wednesday a.m., and the Commencement Exercises (aka Graduation Ceremony) on Wednesday evening are graded events, same as all performances.
Mini-info... listen in class. These are after dismissal on the 1/2 days.
See you on campus.
