Welcome back from the Mardi Gras break! It seems that this Spring semester is passing by rather fast, even with the disjunctive flow of the school calendar. Nonetheless, we are ALWAYS busy!
Please check the TWIB for this week's ASR activities. Likewise, take a look at the March calendar on Charms and/or the website.
Winterguard... It's back to the Saturday routine this week with E.D. White show in Thibodaux! I am so proud of the work that you all have done since the "season opener" at Comeaux. Time to boost our score with an awe-inspired at the Civic Center this weekend. Are you psyched? I am!!
Jazz Band... I was able to find a cool (and very challenging) Latin chart for us to work up. Waiting on another hip, funk tune (you'll love it!) And I have information about the JAZZ fests at both Loyola and SLU. IF you are interested in seeing Dimensions in Blue (Jazz Band from the Air Force Band of the West, Lackland AFB, San Antonio TX), let me know. They will be in concert at the Columbia Theatre in Hammond this Tuesday night, 24 Feb. Tickets are free... just need to know how many are interested.
Symphonic Band... Check the ASR schedule. We have 3 more full rehearsals before Parish Band Assessment/Festival and Mid Semester Concert on March 5th!
SOLO Assessment/Festival has been rescheduled to Mar 9 and 10, to accommodate all of our entries, as well as those from other local participating schools. I have been preparing practice CD's (not done yet!), so check with me. Someone asked me, "What is the best way to prepare for Solo Fest, Mr. Square?" My response (take a guess!) "GHAP!"
Fettuccine Dinner Tickets!!! Hope you are all selling!!
Stay dry... and warm!
See you on campus!
