 UPDATES FROM THE
BAND PARENTS & DIRECTOR

BAND DIRECTOR'S UPDATE

5/21/2018

 
To all; 
Its hard to believe that graduation is just 6 days away!!!  Congratulations, in advance, to
the Class of 2018 and best wishes on your next steps!

This Update will serve as our last major email of the 2017-2018 school year.  I will be updating our database to account for the graduating seniors as well as students who will be moving on to other endeavors next year.  

Blue Star Mothers Concert - Thursday, May 24 - 7:30PM
Members of the Class of 2018 and 2018 squad leaders will be performing next Thursday at the Blue Star Mothers Memorial Ceremony/Concert.  They will need their summer uniform for this event; so, start searching now, not Thursday evening.  White marching shoes can be left at home; but some type of shoe is required for the concert - no sandals or flip-flops.  In addition, the band room will be open from 6:30-7:00PM for instrument pick-up (sousaphones/drumline) and immediately after for returns.  See final details below.

Memorial Day Parade - Saturday, May 26 - 10:00AM
The entire band will be marching in the annual Memorial Day Parade on Saturday, May 26.  The parade steps off at 10:00AM from First Community Church at 1st/Cambridge and ends at Oxley by Pierce Field.  Band members will wear their ‘full’ summer uniform: white band polo, blue band shorts, and white marching shoes.  The band room will be open from 8:30-9:15AM for instrument pick-up and open for 30 minutes following the parade.  Call time is posted below.

Band Camp 2018 - July 22-27 at Wittenberg University
All pertinent information regarding Band Camp 2017 is posted to the Grandview Heights Band Website - http://www.grandviewhtsband.org/band-camp.html.  Two huge thank you’s to Bridget Kahle (Band Camp Coordinator) and Julie Rutter (Website Admin) for making this happen.
