 Big Annual Fundraiser!!!Today all band and choir students had a kick-off to a very important and much needed fundraiser.  No actually selling is involved as all students needed to do was to come to class today with a compiled list of 15 to 20 names of adults who they could text the information to!  The company takes it from there on out!This is a brand new fundraiser, but has the potential to help the music department get back on it's feet after a long lock-down where no fundraisers were permitted.  In other words... We're really behind!All music students "SHOULD HAVE" brought home a flyer for parents explaining the entire fundraiser and the process.  It's very simple, but we need everyone to pull their own weight and buy-in to it!  *  Students download the company app. and simply text it to 20 adults they know.  That's it!!!Please help the music faculty and boosters catch-up with their finances in order to continue offering great experiences to your kids! 

 Just a reminder to all marching band members...!This Friday we will be taking the marching band over to the elementary to perform for them on the varsity field.  We'll leave at 8:45 AM and return at 11:15 AM...1.  Go to first period and check-in with your teacher.............THEN2.  Go to the music area and load your instruments. (Yes...All pit instruments). We're performing the halftime show!    NO FLIP BOOKS NEEDED!3.  NO UNIFORMS!  All you need is school clothes..........jackets are fine too!*. All teachers AND KCCC personal have been notified, band rosters have been distributed, and everyone is permitted to go on the field trip.  Your marching band permission slip also covers you for this!  See ya then!

 Hey Band...  Super job at the Fredericktown game.  We'll know shortly where we will be going this coming Saturday night for the play-off game!  Just a few things...1.  We will be in full uniform and will bring raincoats just in case.2.  We will be leaving a bit earlier (to be announced) because it may be a bit further away than usual.3.  Everybody participates in Saturday  play-off games... we WILL be performing at halftime!!!4.  Please check your uniform this week and be sure to crease the pants and shine your shoes and instruments!Just a little insight...  This past Friday at the game we were invited by the Fredericktown Band to do a drumline thing behind the visitor stands during the end of the 4th quarter.  I'm sure their percussion instructor felt that it would not be disruptive but apparently it was, and we were greeted with some not-so-happy spectators and inappropriate responses.  The administration is well aware of the situation and I'd like to lay it to rest at this point.  While the actions of a small number of individuals was uncalled for and terribly rude, we need to move-on.  I would ask people to please speak to me if they're concerned or need to talk, and not go back and forth on social media.  That won't solve or remedy anything.  Thanks for your support and...  Go Trojan Pride!
