Pictures, Retreat, Planting tulips!

 Dear band and orchestra students and parents,

I hope you are doing well. Here are some reminders from things we have been talking about in class. 

1. Butter Braid and Sub sale forms are due tomorrow. Be sure to also note the dates for you to pick up your orders.

2. It is picture time for all groups on Friday. Your band/orchestra uniform will be at school for you to pick up on Friday morning. Be on time. You need to bring shoes and socks that are dressy and appropriate for wearing with a black tux/dress.

 Orchestra: Friday morning 7:00 a.m. is picture time for the full symphonic orchestra which includes all orchestra students and the woodwind/brass/percussion that join the orchestra. We will also take section shots during class.

Symphonic Band pictures will be during class.

Concert Band pictures will be taken during class.

3. Retreat drop off should happen at 5:45 p.m. at:

Camp Geneva Pines
17000 Quincy St.

Holland, MI 49424

We will be dining on the Shores side of camp Geneva so if you arrive at 6:00 p.m. on Friday or 8:30 a.m. on Saturday you may find us all over on the Shores side and not at Geneva Pines. On Saturday morning please plan pick up by 11:00 a.m.

The Sept. 19 blog has the retreat info sheet which includes a packing list. If you get a minute give a special thanks to Mike and Amy Luce, Stacey and Stacy Jackson, Monica Gravenhof, Jessica Westra, Sonya Snyder, and Anita Mulder for chaperoning and helping this event go smoothly.

4. Next week Monday during class the orchestra will be planting tulips and next week Tuesday during class will both bands will plant tulips. Bring warm clothes and clothes that you can plant tulips in. :) This is a fun way for us to give back to a community that gives us so much support. Once again this year we hope to plant all of the tulips along 12th Street and Washington Blvd. and maybe some in Kollen Park.

5. Check out the last blog entry for private lesson scholarships and solo and ensemble sign up. I also posted these in google classroom.

6. Please sign up to help out at our concert with program handing out, offering, and refreshments! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0E4CA9A928AA8-fall. 

Thanks!

Mr. VB
