No meeting in the month of May. We do have our traditional Band Banquet for grade 9-12.

The Band Banquet is set for Friday, May 6th in the Science Hill High School Cafeteria. The meal begins at 6PM, awards are between 7PM and 8:30PM. Students will begin making reservations the week of April 24th.
  Adults must contact Barb Nelson. email:rbnelsn@comcast.net Phone: 467-2003
  High School Band students eat at no cost. Parents and guests will pay at the door. It is important that we have an accurate count so we can prepare the right amount of food. Let us know.

Band uniforms are being fit for 2006-2007!!

Here is how it works: Seniors and those who have grown over the past year bring in their clean black and white uniform and fill out the form. Those who need uniforms for next year stop by with their band student, are fitted and then have the chance to purchase the uniform from the previous owner. We try to fit with our current stock of uniforms for two reasons: Used uniforms cost $30-$50 less than new uniforms. They also give those departing the chance to recoup their investment. For those who cannot find a fit, we will measure during band classes the week of May 8th to order.

Upcoming performance dates:

April 28th, Wind ensemble performs at State Concert Festival at Austin Peay State University in Clarkesville. A rough schedule: board bus at 7:30AM, drive to Nashville, eat lunch at Opry Mills, 2PM (CDT), arrive at APSU, listen to two bands, change, warmup, perform at 4:30PM (CDT), Clinic, receive plaque, Eat, board bus and head home.
