Great start to the weekend!
Because of our two-hour early dismissal, I only got to see two bands today, but WOW! They were fantastic! 8th graders, you did an excellent job on "Allegretto" and "The Chipmunk Song". (Could those two songs BE more different?!) I was really pleased with how well you responded to my suggestions for improving sound. Trombones, thanks for getting the whole "round sound" thing! Drummers, you rocked! Saxes and trumpet, keep up the good work! The 6th grade beginning band was also rockin' on their sight reading of "The Night Before Christmas". I can't believe that some of you just started playing LAST MONTH! Keep up the good work, EVERYONE! Get some practice in this weekend. Hope to see some of you tomorrow at NHS for the "Beat the Teach" 5K.

So much to do...
Wow! The school year is speeding by! First quarter ends this week and it's nearly November which means crunch time for the musical and concerts. Hope everybody is ready!!
Test #4 is Monday (tomorrow) for A day students and Tuesday for B day students. Get those practice records signed and completed so that you get the highest grade possible!
Our fundraiser starts tomorrow as well. We will be selling Yankee Candle products once again. I'm very sorry to report that the catalogs are no longer scratch-and-sniff. The good news is that we get 40% of the sales, and that all sales made by band students stay in the band program. Think of it this way - if you sell $100 worth of products, you've bought a new song for the band! There are lots of cool things and it is the start of the holiday season...start thinking about presents. Remember, Nanas and Bumpas love candles!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend. I'm off to give Cleo and Big Dumb Dave their baths.

Test #3 is coming up!
Test #3 and Practice Record #3 are coming up next week: 12th for A days and 13th for B days. Be sure to practice and get those PR's signed.
The 13th is also Ms. Griwatz's 50th birthday! If you are near a dollar store this weekend, be sure to pick up some noise makers or party hats! It's going to be a BIG celebration!
Hope to see you all at the Northern High School TOB tomorrow night.
