Friday, Nov. 25, 2011 is the play off game at NHS. The game begins at 7:30 and the band will report at 6:30.
We need a few parents to help out with the PiT and possibly the Booster table (that is still TBD). Please email and let me know if you can help us out with either, the booster table if we are allowed to have it is for only the first and 2nd quarter. There will be a ticket fee for all since NHS does not run this game, the cost is $6. (For parents volunteering for the band there should not be a fee.) We should use the yellow ropes and tape to partition the band section off, (a few musicians were harassed while standing to play)

The Winter Band Concert has been rescheduled to Wednesday, December 21 at 7 PM. All Band Members (Band Front too) are expected to be in attendance for the performance. Yes, it is a graded performance!
