Packing for Mackinaw
by Mr. VanStrien - Thursday, 8 May 2008, 09:25 AM
  I attached a list of recommenced items for the students to pack as they are getting ready for the Mackinaw Trip. Please be sure to pack one nice set of clothes for our lunch at the Grand Hotel. It does not have to be formal but jeans and t-shirts need to be avoided. Make sure however the clothes are comfortable because they will be in them for the remainder of the day.

Temperatures look to be in the 50's for Friday and Saturday. Dress in layers and dress warm. The wind can make it feel colder. It should however be sunny!

  The band trip to Mackinaw is now just less than a month away. This is a letter to remind you of the final payment of $75.00 and to give you an update of what has already been paid. All payments are now due.

If payments are becoming a problem please do not hesitate to contact me. It is very important that we have our full performing band for our clinic and your son or daughter is an important part of that.

Festival Results
by Mr. VanStrien - Tuesday, 11 March 2008, 02:45 PM
  Congratulations to both our Middle School and High School Concert Band for wonderful performances at the MSBOA District 1 Festival last Friday. The bands did a remarkable job when considering all the numerous interruption we had this winter. The bands showed a lot of dedication and hard work to prepare for this festival on a schedule that has been anything but consistent. In all the bands lost almost a months worth of rehearsal due to snow days and other scheduled days off. The Middle School Band received a 2, 2, 2 in performance and a 1 in sight reading. The High School Band received a 2,2,1 and a 1 in sight reading. Thank you to all the parents who helped as chaperones and all the parents and friends who were able to support us at festival.

Recordings are now available in the recording section of the webpage.
