Weekly Update

1/17/2022

This past weekend was the FMEA All-State Conference. We were so proud of all our students who made All-State. Congratulations once again to Ellie Carvajal (band), Ryan Robinson (orchestra), Teo Castro-Juarez (orchestra), and Cara Naso (choir)!

This week we start our after-school concert band rehearsals and All-County Honor Band students will begin their rehearsals on Thursday at Golden Gate High School.

Please remember that the due date for all student trip payments is tomorrow, Tuesday, January 18th. This is a hard deadline. Due to the delays and complications of this school year, Mrs. Robinson and the Band Boosters have very little time to secure the hotel, charter buses, and park tickets. Please pay close attention to all the band trip due dates. The trip information packet and forms were sent via email.

Here’s what you need to know for this week’s events.

Universal Studios Band Trip Reminders:

Parents who worked twice in the concession stand can request to transfer $50 credit from their student’s band fee towards their student’s trip cost.
Students who participated in last year’s Cheesecake fundraiser can apply those profits to this year’s trip. Mrs. Robinson gave those students a sheet showing how much they raised.
Students who participated in this year’s Cookie Dough fundraiser can apply those profits to this year’s trip. You can email Mrs. Robinson to find out how much was raised, otherwise students will receive this information in class next week.
Our Band Trip Meeting will be in the auditorium on Mon. 1/24 at 6:30pm. This is a very important meeting, and all students should attend with at least one parent.
