Band...Now
read this!!
Wow! Homecoming week was awesome. First off, the moon's cycle was incredible! Rehearsals and classes went very well. I recovered well from the 2 gaskets I blew on Monday. And you know I am not one to enjoy pep rallies, but I MUST ADMIT that I had FUN!! Rah, the, rah,rah, rah!
Congrats again to the Greenwave Football team for another decisive victory. 6-0 so far this season, with all the cylinders clicking...way to go!
I must share with you all of the compliments for our performances this past week. 5th quarter was the culmination of all of your hard work. Let's keep it movin' and groovin' in this direction. We had a bunch of excited JH band kids with us, many of whom can't wait to be "Grunts" next summer. Here's a shout out to Mr. Jeff for all of your hard work and for your help in the stands. Booster parents...thank you for everything in every aspect of a successful Greenwave Band Friday night. It truly takes a village to raise a child and thank you for being part of our special group. Shout to Miss Hintz for the amazing artwork on the backdrops!!
I spent most of Saturday on the road and at Pineville HS with Charles, Scott, and Zack for 2nd Round All State auditions. This is the most rigorous, high stakes, unnerving individual student event in all of LMEA. I am very proud of our boys for their fine musical efforts and for representing Ponchatoula HS and Tangipahoa Parish in the proceedings. Be sure to give them some "at-a-boys" when you see them. Congratulations to Zackery Cusimano for making the 2014 LMEA All-State Concert Band!! Way to go!
This afternoon, please remember the Scentsy product FundRaiser, in the chorus room, at 1:00. There will be folks on hand to help you do some EARLY Christmas shopping! Wink, Wink...Nudge, Nudge!
Tomorrow, there are no classes for students, as teachers will attend professional development sessions. However, and more importantly, we have the annual POTLUCK Supper in the cafeteria, Set-up between 6:00 - 6:30. At 6:30, i will introduce Mrs. Sarah Thibodeaux, of Custom Frundraising Solutions, to kick-off the 2nd Annual Mattress Sale. that we raised over $7000 in one day last year! (That's is more than a whole season of football concessions!) Get ready for yard signs, banners, phone calls, personal referrals, personal contacts, personal interaction, and of course, the wearing of the mattress suits!
More TWIB details later Monday is a great day to work on Honor Band and fall solo festival/assessment materials. ASR on Tuesday and Thursday: Away game vs. Slidell this Friday. We begin the 3rd and final movement this week...don't miss ASR!!
Time to P&P. More info later
