We are requesting volunteers to help with the laundering of dresses for the choral music department from the 2019-2020 school year. This would require washing the dresses, hanging them, and returning them to the High School in the Fall. All dresses would need to be laundered before the start of the school year. There are three different types of dresses. Specific instructions for each type can be obtained from Mrs.Gess at Devon.Gess@bayschoolsohio.org.  Dresses can be picked up from Mrs. Gess, or they can be dropped off at your home.  Please provide your home address when signing up.  Your help is greatly appreciated!

Below is the Symphonic Band list for next year if school and class will be normal. If the classes are set up differently or there is no marching band, it could look different. I did not receive auditions from all students. The band could use more bassoon, tuba, french horn, and trombone players.  Some of the woodwind players may need to switch around to find the best instrumentation for the group (i.e. bari. sax and bass clarinet, more tenor saxes). In a normal year, I would listen to any students that wanted to try out again after marching band season to hear if progress has been made. As soon as I know any information about next year, I will let you know. Student health and safety are our primary concern. If you have a question please email me at Darren.allen@bayschoolsohio.org. Go Rockets!

Congratulations to the following students:

Every band member and Rockette who has carried supplies to and from the school for so many practices knows why it would be great to have on-site facilities. Every parent, student spectator and community member who has attended a halftime show or other event at our stadium certainly knows why we need new restrooms and concessions. And every parent of middle school and elementary age students can rest assured that the sooner we can make “Home of the Rockets” a reality the better it will be for those future BHS generations and for the entire community. 
 
We are grateful to those who led the “Field of Dreams” campaign a decade ago to install a turf field, and this is our chance to continue that tradition and pay it forward by supporting the new Home of the Rockets!  Please click https://www.homeoftherockets.org, share it with your friends and family, and donate what you can to support One Rocket Nation!  With your help, we can meet our fundraising goal by April 30, 2020 and break ground immediately following the fall 2020 sports season!

We would like to extend our condolences to the Safarz family and to Bay High School staff and students. Michelle Safarz was a beloved teacher and was a friend to many of our music directors. She will be greatly missed. 

Sincerely, Bay Music Boosters
