Senior Music Parents,
When we sent out the dates for tux returns, we forgot to take into account that 5/24 is the Seniors last day. Please return ALL senior tuxes on 5/23. If you have any questions, please email Colleen at cco68@yahoo.com
Thank you,
Colleen Oxsalida and Kate Beckwith
Tuxes for music students need to be turned in over the following weeks. This year we purchased garment bags to make things easier on the studentsfor returning them. If you could let your child know the procedure it would be very helpful.
Hanging clothing racks will be located somewhere in the music hallways for them to return the tuxes. All 4 pieces of the tux should be inside the garment bag that was marked with their name when they received it (tie and cummerbund can be on hanger or in jacket pocket). If any pieces are missing, you will be charged according to the prices listed on the tux contract that was signed at the beginning of the year.
Students with last names ending in letters A-I should return the tux on 5/23; letters H-Q return on 5/28; and letters R-Z return on 5/30.
Please note: Tuxes DO NOT need to be cleaned before returning.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us. Thank you for your help with this process.

End-of-year dress collection for Symphonic, Orchestra and Chamber Orchestra students who will not be returning in the fall will be handled differently this year. Starting Tuesday, May 14th, there will be a collection bin for the dresses outside of the music teachers’ offices. The bin will be available through Thursday, May 23rd. Students who haven’t returned their dress by that time will be contacted individually. Questions? Please contact Ginny Holup (virginiaholup@gmail.com). Thank you!

Due to a sport conflict with 18+ students, the Spring Choral Concert has been moved to May 22 at 7:00p.m.!
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:
Thanks, Darren Allen
