Weekend Update 1-13-20

Dear M100 Families, Congratulations to all students who auditioned at Area competition in Duncanville on Saturday. All students represented BHS very well. Special Congratulations to Jaden Rudloff – 1st Alternate to All State Band – Trumpet.

Announcements for this week:


*MISSING FLUTE!

Lynlee Caufield is missing her flute! She put it in her locker Friday morning and by class time, it was gone. Please let her or a director know if you have seen anything or heard anything about this missing flute! Her parents have filed a police report with Belton PD. Please help us find this instrument – she owns her own instrument and we all know how much of an expense this is. Thank you for supporting and helping a fellow band member!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*PIANO ACCOMPANIMENT FEES FOR SOLO CONTEST

This is a fee paid by each student for the service of a professional piano accompanist to rehearse twice with each student and perform with them at the solo contest on Feb. 8th. This only applies to brass or woodwind students who are doing a solo with piano accompanist who have indicated they need the school to provide an accompanist. Pianist will be paid no more than $50 for this service this year. I will confirm the total as soon as possible and let you know when payment is due and who to make a check out to, etc. as soon as I can. If a student has difficulty making this payment, please contact Mrs. Gill. Thank you!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

*WINTER PEP RALLY – FRIDAY, JAN. 24

BHS will have a pep rally next Friday the 24th. Band students need to wear either their red M100 T-shirt or sweatshirt. We will use concert instruments but play stand tunes as usual. Double reed students do not need to attend as they will not have an instrument to play. Front Ensemble students also do not need to attend unless they wish to play cymbals or some other batter inst. as approved by Mr. Smith. Winter Guard students may perform – speak with Mr. Hudnall. Battery percussion will need marching perc. Instruments. ALL students must be extremely careful with instruments in the stands especially considering we may be using our finest quality horns. We will be in the stands again like the last pep rally. Students are encouraged to bring their marching horn if they own one and not their concert horn in this instance (flutes, clarinets, saxophones, trumpets, trombones….). We will not check out sousaphones, mellophones, marching baritones or any other marching horn to anyone for this pep rally. Another pep rally will occur later in the Spring semester as well. More info. on that when I get it…
