BAND PARENTS' UPDATE

1. CONCERT WEEK: this week brings the final formal concerts of the 2018-19 school year (can you believe that?!). The HS concert band and jazz ensemble will kick

1. things off, on Wednesday May 1, at 7pm in the GHHS auditorium. Note that our 27 band seniors will be honored that night as well. Then on Thursday May 2, our middle school bands will take the stage at 6pm (5th and 6th grade bands) and 7pm (7th and 8th grade bands) to round out a great week of music-making. See you all there!
2. CAKE WALK WRAP UP: official numbers are in, and they are awesome! With your help, we raised a grand total of $7004 at the 2019 70th Annual Grandview Heights Cake Walk. So much hard work from so many people made this all possible, but a special hat tip goes out to Cathy Murphy and Joanne Taylor for leading the effort. Please remember to visit the many local businesses who sponsored the event (find a list here) and when you do, don't forget to thank them for supporting the Grandview Heights bands! 
3. 
   UNIFORM ORDERS: reminder that current 8th graders planning to participate in HS marching band next year will be measured for HS uniform pieces at school during their band period on May 8. Your student should wear clothes that s/he can easily slip shorts and a polo shirt on over. Each student will need to purchase a white GH Bands polo shirt, navy blue GH bands shorts, white marching shoes, and gloves, and all orders must be placed through the Band Parents Association to ensure a uniform appearance. (If your student has access to gently used hand-me-down items, you don’t need to purchase new.) Order forms and other information will be distributed in May, and all orders must be placed by June 3. Upper class students in need of new or replacement items may also place orders as needed. 
4. 
   CAMP REMINDERS: for all students planning to be a part of the 2019-20 GHHS Marching Band, reminder that your band camp forms and payment are due no later than June 28. Find them here if you need them. Thanks to those who have already turned theirs in! 

Thanks, all! Questions? Let me know!
