We will hold a meeting on Tuesday, October 22, at 6:30 PM to discuss all logistics for the Nevada Day Parade, Fall Concert, Sierra Band Crusade, and the Veterans Day Parade. Everybody is welcome to attend.
PARENTS: I need your help fitting/checking out uniforms and band shoes on Monday and Tuesday of next week. Let me know if you're able to come in from 7:55-8:55, 9:55-10:55, or 12:30-1:30 on either day.
SIERRA BAND CRUSADE
As of October 14, I only have 11 spots remaining for students who want to attend Sierra Band Crusade. We will now meet at 9:00 AM on Saturday, November 2, at CMS, before taking the bus up to UNR for the day. The cost is $15, which will include admission and a pizza lunch. If you're still interested, send money with your student ASAP to ensure a spot in this very popular trip.
FOOTBALL GAME PERFORMANCE
The CMS/CHS football game performance is still on for this Friday, October 18. See the attached form for all the details, which can be found HERE. We will have a rehearsal for all students interested in learning the parts to some of the music after school on Tuesday, October 15.
NEVADA DAY
The Nevada Day Parade is on Saturday, October 26, and mandatory for Advanced Band and Intermediate Band. We should get detailed information from the parade organizers by Friday. All details about this trip are available HERE. I will also be sending students home with this flyer on Tuesday.
