Gathering of the Bands
A letter, schedule and permission slip were sent
home for Gathering of the Bands this week.
Chaperones are needed, please contact Mrs. Hanna
if you are available to travel with us on
Wednesday, November 15, to North Idaho College
in Coeur d’Alene.
In past years students have paid $10 to attend
this event, but the school district increased
their funding for the band program this year and
their generosity has allowed us to cover this
expense for your students!
The concert will start at 7 p.m. at NIC and is
free and open to the public. All families are
invited and encouraged to attend. In addition to
the middle school performing groups, the NIC
Wind Symphony will also perform at the concert.
Boise State Band Clinic
The high school concert band and middle school
advanced band will be traveling to Boise
February 20-24 to perform at the Boise State
Band Clinic. The guest clinician is Dr. David M.
Booth, the professor of music and Director of
Bands at Wright State University.
Prior to his WSU years, Dr. Booth served at
Indiana State University and the University of
Oregon.
Clinic Events include:
* One hour performance/clinic session with one of the Dr. Booth and BSU
faculty.
* Master classes from Boise State Wind, Brass & Percussion Faculty
* Selected Chamber Ensemble Performances (BSU Faculty & Student Groups)
* Performance/rehearsal clinic by the BSU Symphonic Winds.
Students will tour Boise State, our state
capital building, see the All-Star Honor Band
Concert and attend the University of Idaho
Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival Concert featuring
Joey DeFrancesco + the People on the return
trip.
Spaghetti Feed a success
Thank you to the parent volunteers who worked at
the Spaghetti Feed -- we could not have done it
without you!
An individual thank you for those who worked in
the kitchen, sold tickets at the door and
managed the massive clean-up: Cindy Sumpter,
Stacee Dineen, Michelle Bremer, Liberty
Whitener, Trudy Koehn, Merriel Tye, Sara Yoder,
Dan Claphan, Rebecca Higens, Ann Onstott, Katie
Huggins, and Linda Rigney!
The event raised over $1,200 for our program and
will assist students with travel costs this
spring! |
