Another weird week for band rehearsals! I apologize for the changes.

Tuesday, October 31st (Happy Halloween): Grade 7 early am band

Wednesday, November 1st: The Grade 8’s have asked me to reschedule our rehearsal due to the spooky festivities on Tuesday evening! Stay tuned…I hope to reschedule to a class period this week but haven’t been able to finalize the new time.

Jazz band is postponed on Wednesday due to the grade 9 Take Our Kids to Work day. It will be held on Thursday from 3:15-4:15 for those who can attend.

Thursday, November 2nd: Grade 9 early am band and Jazz Band after school

*The Anne’s Chocolates delivery is going to be delayed until early next week due to a conflict with my schedule. Details and a call for volunteers will be added in a separate blog post.

Band fees ($40) can now be paid by cash, cheque, or online through SchoolCash. Band fees are used to pay for instrument supplies, maintenance, and repairs, as well as band uniforms. All band fees are due by the end of November, and payments can also be made in the band area during parent-teacher interviews.

We have raised $4302 ($4,280.50 plus $21.50 in donations) through the Anne’s Chocolates fundraiser. Thank you to everyone for helping to make this such a huge success!

The shipment will arrive on Friday, November 3rd. We will need a few volunteers on that day to help sort the orders when they arrive. Once I know the delivery time, I will send another note to see who might be available to help prepare the orders for pick up. The order forms for each seller will be included with the items to show students who ordered which products (i.e. Aunt Petunia gets 2 Thank You Baskets and 1 Case of Mini COW Chips). Details about when items will be sent home with students, and when parents can pick up larger orders will be available soon. Thank you!

Brass, woodwind, and percussion students from schools across the Maritimes gathered at Mount Allison University on Saturday, October 14 for the annual Mount Allison Honour Band Day. Congratulations to the 11 East Wiltshire grade 9 band students who were members of the Mt. A Honour Band this year!
