Ms. Driver just received notice that the 8th grade members who are part of the BETA band are one of the five groups selected to perform at the upcoming BETA convention coming up this week. 

We will need to find a time next week to rehearse after school to finalize our routine. All members should practice this weekend to get back into shape. This should be an exciting performance. 

Hello all,

Just a friendly reminder to keep selling Tritan Tumblers. I have had a lot of students tell me that they are already on there way to selling 10. Remember every ten cups you sell you earn a free cup for yourself. 

Thanks all

Thank you to all my 8th grade parents who helped prepare your kids for today’s performances. They did a fantastic job all day of representing their school and their band. Thank you to the parents who volunteered to serve pizza and to all those who helped setup and tear down. 

I am very blessed to have such great kids and such a supportive band family. 

Hello all 7th and 8th grade parents,

Here are some new items and important reminders for this week, and as we approach the end of the semester.

TRITAN TUMBLER FUNDRAISER

Tritan Tumblers are one of the best tumbler products in the world due to their quality, strength and lifetime warranty.  There are 10 different designs as you will see on the order form as well as an 11^th design specifically for the Trojan Nation.  Each cup is $17 and for every 10 that you sell you will get one free.  Here are the instructions:

November 9^th – Fundraiser Begins

• Students should take the order taker with them around school, to sports teams and clubs, church events or any other group they attend and sell the product. They should use good manners when selling, tell the person their name and what they play in the band.
• Once the student has a potential buyer they should write their name down on the order taker, and mark which style the buyer would like.
• The student should collect the money and hold onto it until the return date (Dec. 1st) please have a safe place for it at home until collection day. Checks can be made payable to “CJHS Bands” and cash is also accepted.
• On collection day bring it to school and turn it in first thing in the morning. Do not walk around school with it all day until you have band class.

December 1st  – Collection Day (NO LATE ORDERS ACCEPTED)

Lets make this a great fundraiser.

COAT ORDERS

I handed out information on coat orders today.  Coats are not a mandatory uniform item for band, but are a fun way to show your spirit and participation in the band.  The order forms are handed out in class, students may use the samples in class to try on for size, or you can come in and see the sizes.

Orders are due on or before November 20th, right before we leave for Thanksgiving break.  

DO NOT MAKE ORDERS OUT TO CJHS BANDS, PLEASE MAKE CHECKS OUT TO OZIER APPAREL.

VETERANS DAY NOV 11th

The 8th grade band will be performing at the high school gymnasium all day on Wednesday Nov 11th.  They must report to school in uniform, check in with their first block teacher and come straight to the band room.  Any student not in uniform will not participate in the events of the day, they will attend the regular school day.  If you would like to come out and attend a ceremony here is the schedule:

Attention 8th grade parents,

I thought I would send a friendly reminder that Carowinds $50 deposits for all chaperones and students are due on or before November 20th. You can make checks out to CJHS Band. 

Please remember to fill out the medical form and keep the payment schedule and details at your house on the fridge. If you need a new one just ask your child to pick one up in the band room. 

Thanks all. 

I drove home last night extremely proud of my bands. I thought both bands sounded great and gave fantastic effort on stage. What made it a success was that it was well attended, almost every band student was there. Thank you for making a commitment to the band program. 

I look forward to seeing you all again in December at our Christmas Concert.
