Congratulations to the new members of Symphonic Band.  We still need another bassoon player if anyone is interested in trying it out, let me know.  If you feel that you made progress over the summer you may re-audition at the end of marching band season.  If you have any questions please email me.  Darren.allen@bayschoolsohio.org

We are requesting volunteers to help with the laundering of dresses for the choral music department for the 2019-2020 school year. This would require washing the dresses, hanging them, and returning them to the high school closet. 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.

End of the year band reminders

June 3rd Field Commander/Squad leader try-outs 3:30pm

Symphonic Band Auditions/Finals for next year
All students were given a page of music from Who’s Who in Navy Blue. The entire piece is part of the audition. Seniors do not need to do this. Returning Symphonic Band members can email me a recording of this excerpt similar to the midterm. All concert band members must sign-up for a final time between finals on June 6,7 to play for me live. There will be a few other morning times and QRP times TBA. Sign-up sheets will be on the band room doors soon.  This is the students grade for their final.

You do not need gloves or a hat. If you have polo or dinkle issues please contact Tracy Deibel ahead of time. We will have a limited supply of used dinkles, so call or email now if you need a different size. If you need to exchange your polo for a different size or if you have lost one please do not wait until the last minute! A lost polo costs $25.  Contact Mrs. Deibel ASAP.  tjdeibel06@gmail.com or 440-821-3482

Many of you have been asking about dates for band camp. The district has had our calendar meeting for next year, so now I have most of the information I need to make decisions on next year’s schedule. Due to the school year starting earlier next year, I originally thought that we would need to start around July 22 for Camp. However, the first football game is not until Aug. 30th, so we will not need to rush as much as originally thought. The dates below are what we are going with, so you can plan accordingly:

• Squad leader/ Field Commander Meeting: July 29th 10am-11:30am
• Percussion camp: July 29-Aug. 2 8am-3pm (Drumline Uniform Fitting – during practice on July 30th)
• New Marchers and Squad Leaders: July 30th-July 31 8am-12pm
• New Marcher Parent Info Meeting: Aug.1 6:30pm
• Full Band Review (plus Returner Uniform Fitting – after practice) Aug. 2nd 8am-12pm
• Full Band Camp Aug. 5th-8th 8am-5pm
• Uniform Issue night Aug. 6th 6-8pm
• Full Band Camp Aug. 9th 8am-1:30pm (Picture Day)
• Door to Door Membership Drive SATURDAY August 10th (Time TBA)
• There will be evening practices the week of Aug. 12 (Time TBA)
• First Day of School Aug. 15th

Thanks, Darren Allen
