Important Announcements from Mr. Carr

Please read everything even though it’s a lot, thanks!

Hey everyone! I hope you are enjoying impromptu winter break! I have a couple of really important announcements. Mr. Snyder was really looking forward to having a chance to say goodbye to everyone Friday. However, since we don’t have school he won’t get that opportunity during the day. There are some strange state rules about retiring (which will happen officially after the day ends Friday) that won’t allow him to come back to the school for several months during class time. Since he is not able to come and say his goodbyes during the day if you want to have that opportunity please come to the open house in the Main Campus band room from 2-4pm this Sunday 2/22. I know he is looking forward to some pretty epic selfies and will be disappointed to not have those memories. Hope you can make it.

Some dates and times of upcoming events-

Friday (2/20)- Musical Rehearsal- 2-5:30

Friday (2/20)- Pep Band- Drumline only

Sunday (2/22)- Say Goodbye to Mr Snyder Open House 2-4

Tuesday(2/24)- Freshman 1 period 2:30-4pm after school rehearsal

Friday (2/27)- Freshman 0 period 2:30-4pm after school rehearsal

Monday (3/2)- Winds and White- Plan on a quick dress rehearsal on stage after school (I won’t see you during the day… concert is that night)

Monday (3/2)- Red White Winds Concert 7pm

Tuesday (3/3)- Freshman Concert 7pm

Wednesday (3/4)- Freshman 0 period 2:30-4pm after school rehearsal

*District Contest FYI– Schedule didn’t allow for Symphonic White only to perform Friday night- please plan on a late afternoon Saturday (4ish) performance March 7th.

Our concert will be coming up a week from Monday (main campus) and Tuesday (Freshman) when we get back. Obviously not playing together as a group for 10 days is not ideal preparation for our concert and district contest performance. To help make up a little lost time I have included links to decent recordings of music we are playing for the concert. I beg you please reference these recordings and practice your instruments so we won’t be disappointed next Monday.
