December Announcements

Thanks to everyone for two great holiday performances, both at the Holiday parade and at our concert! Just a few reminders as we head into the Winter Break:

Pep Band began this week - this is a student run group supervised at the games by Mr. Mack. Students may use pep band for volunteer hours or as an Honors Band project. (Students should attend at least 4 Pep Band performances to earn one Honors Credit.) The Pep Band schedule has been updated on the online calendar so you can check the website for dates and times.

Solo and Ensemble forms and money are due by January 7. Solo fees are $14.00 and each ensemble is $19.00 (to be split among the ensemble members). All checks should be made out to Midpark Music Boosters. Application forms can be found outside the band office.

Wind Ensemble families - make sure you have added our University of Akron performance to your calendar! This will be an all day event on Monday, February 22. (More information to follow in the new year.)

Disney payments: You should now have a minimum of $480 in your trip account at this time! As a group we are responsible for having 2/3 of the trip paid for by now. If you have kept up with the payment schedule you should actually have $590.00 in your account. If you are behind, please try to send even small amounts weekly to get caught up - we have to have the entire trip paid by February 9! (Some fundraising funds are still in the process of being transfered at this time.)

We would like to wish you all a happy holiday season and enjoy your break!!
