Good Evening Band Parents and Students,

I hope this message meets everyone well! I have few items for today.

1.     Fundraiser: Our fundraiser is in full swing. Just a reminder: fundraiser money is not due until Monday, February 6. On that day, band boosters will collect money in the morning and during band classes in the band hall. No money will accepted after Tuesday, February 7. Bulbs will be delivered after Spring Break.

2.     Solo: Your child received a solo this week. On Friday, May 4, your child will perform this solo at a Solo & Ensemble Festival at Huntsville High School. Please insure your child is working on their solo. This will be a great opportunity for your child to apply the skills they are learning on their instrument.

 

3.     Practice [Assignment] Sheets are passed out every Monday to every student. They are due the following Monday. Students are expected to practice 100 minutes per week (approximately 14 minutes per day). Please encourage your child to practice. If a child does not turn in a practice sheet, they receive a ZERO for that week. Please insure your child is practicing AND you are signing off their practice time.

 

4.     Private lessons started back this past week. Please contact your lessons teacher to confirm days and times.

 

5.     Objective Sheets: Students are expected to pass off 10 objectives every nine weeks. If you look in your child’s band binder, you will see a bright orange, card stock piece of paper. That is their objective sheet. These objectives are pass or fail ONLY! Please sit down with child and review these. The students are expected to come prepared to pass them off in class.

 

Finally, let’s help each other to make these students great. Let’s encourage them to have self-motivation and self-discipline. And as always, please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Corey D. Daniel

Dear Band Parents,

Today your band students received information regarding our annual fundraiser.  The students will be selling flower bulbs.  One advantage to this fundraiser is that all items are priced at $6 per unit and we receive a 50% profit.  The fundraiser will begin today, January 23rd and will end on February 6th.  The Boosters will collect money before school and during classes on Monday, February 6th in the Band Hall. Bulb money will not be accepted after Tuesday, February 7th.  Any checks that your student collects should be made out to Huntsville Band Booster Club Inc.  Please include a Driver’s License number on the check.

This is the only fundraiser that the band will be doing this year.  We are asking each band student to sell 10 items at $6 each.  The proceeds will be used to pay for our trip to Incredible Pizza on Friday, May 18th including the buses needed for transportation there and back.  It also allows us to reimburse the Band Boosters for the many events for which they have provided us with food and drinks.  Each student who sells at least 10 items will be able to travel with us to Incredible Pizza and will also be invited to a Movie Night in the Huntsville High School Band Hall.  Pizza and drinks will be provided.

If your child sells less than 10 items, they will need to make up the difference in profit if they want to go on the trip.  A list is attached with the additional amounts.  All additional Incredible Pizza money (not bulb orders) needs to be turned in by March 2nd.

If you do not want your child to participate in this fundraiser but they would like to go to Incredible Pizza, please send $30 made out to Huntsville Band Booster Club, Inc.  Please include a Driver’s License number on the check.  Money is due no later than March 2nd.

Our trip to Incredible Pizza is a reward for students who meet all expectations stated in the band handbook including behavior and attendance and students can lose this reward if those expectations are not met.  If your student loses their trip or for any reason is unable to attend, there will be no money refunds.

Thank you for all of your help and for encouraging your students to be involved in the Huntsville Intermediate School Band program.

Sincerely,
Corey D. Daniel
