Another fantastic performance of show 1 by the GHHMB!!! We’re looking forward to debuting Show 2 this week - “"Classic Rock Resurgence" There are a LOT of announcements this week, so please read this document VERY CAREFULLY!
Evening Rehearsals We have three more Evening Rehearsals for this season and that number will not increase. All three rehearsals are required and will be calculated into your grade. Exceptions to the requirement are (1) for athletes who have traveling matches which return later than 9:00PM, or, (2) on a case-by-case basis as needed. Work and non-Grandview Heights activities should be scheduled around Evening Rehearsals; please submit the dates above to your work management or advisors. Our next night rehearsal is THIS THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12 from 8:00-10:00pm. Traditional Uniform - Reminder The band will transition to its ‘traditional’ or ‘formal’ uniform this week. There are several components to the uniform:
Flip Folders Each band member received a flip folder from the band at the beginning of their freshman year. The flip folder allows your student to conveniently keep their music organized and transport it easily. If your student has misplaced their flip, it is their responsibility to replace it. Flip folders are available from Stanton’s Sheet Music (330 South Fourth St), Music & Arts (Graceland Shopping Center), Buckeye Brass (7445 Montgomery Dr, Plain City), or online. Flip folders come standard with 5 ‘windows.’ It is recommended you purchase extra windows to accommodate all the music distributed. Music/Flip Folders will be checked and periodically throughout the season and is calculated into your student’s grade as class preparation. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. Capital University Band Festival Grandview Heights High School Band Students are invited to participate in this year's Capital University Band Festival to take place on November 15-16, 2024. Students will have the opportunity to participate in one of three director-nominated honor bands. Students in all three bands will participate in masterclasses led by Conservatory faculty and alumni and hear performances by Capital University's bands, as well as the Columbus Academy Concert Band. Interested students should see Mrs. Olis for a nomination form. Please triple check your availability for the dates before turning in a form! If selected, there will be a fee for attendance (approx. $100), but no money is needed at this time. Nomination forms are due by Tuesday, September 24. Orlando Trip Registration NOW OPEN! We are incredibly excited to announce our first instrumental trip in many years, open to members of ALL High School Bands and High School Orchestra! This trip is more than just a chance to showcase our students’ talents and provide expanded learning opportunities; it's an opportunity to bond as a group, experience new environments, and create memories that will last a lifetime. Participation in the trip is optional, but highly encouraged, as each ensemble will benefit greatly from the participation of as many members as possible. There are approximately 105 spots available for this trip. The closer we come to filling all 105 bus seats, the lower we can keep the cost of the trip. In order to assess whether or not there is strong interest in this trip, we ask that anyone who plans to participate please register online right away. Registration is due on September 16th and the first security deposit and insurance premium (if selected) is due September 23rd. Simply registering does not cost you any money, but we will use those registrations to assess the level of interest in the trip. Between September 16th and the 23rd (before your first deposit payment will be due), we plan to make the “go/no go” decision, based on the number of students from each group that will attend. There are seats available on the buses for chaperones (parents/guardians). If you (parent/guardian) would like to attend the trip as a chaperone, the registration deadline and trip fee applies to you as well. After we get a preliminary count on the number of people going on the trip, we may open the remaining seats, if any, to additional family members (brothers, sisters, etc.). Please remember that this is not a family vacation and the trip cannot be adjusted to what you do and do not want to do; it is a package deal. If you sign up, you are expected to attend the trip in its full itinerary. If you are a parent/guardian and sign up to go, there will be expectations for you to help with various supervisory and chaperone responsibilities. Please see the Parent Square message sent on August 21 for more information. Band Handbook Believe it or not, there is a band handbook that gives parents and students tons of information about the band program! I am resurrecting it this year to help keep us all accountable. Please read through the handbook with your parent/guardian and fill out the google form at the end stating you have read the material. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Uq2jr1Fs2pFa8T10fxYgjaZGnSYeT1Xm/edit 9/13 Away at Bexley - 7:00PM Uniform: Traditional Call Time/Dress: 5:00pm Load Out: 5:15pm Depart: 5:45pm Return: Approx. 10:15-10:30pm Upcoming Events 9/12 Thursday Evening Rehearsal, 8:00-10:00pm 9/13 Away @ Bexley 9/19 Band Parents Association Meeting 9/20 Home vs. Chesapeake Lastly, please don’t hesitate to contact me via email with any questions or concerns!!
