CJHS Awards Banquet Performance at Tabernacle Baptist Church

NEXT Monday April 27^th, 2015

This is a very important and mandatory performance for all 8^th grade band students.  We will be performing for our entire community of parents as well as many school board members and our superintendent.  Please do not miss this performance, it means a lot.

UNIFORM:  Students will not be required to wear their band uniform; boys should dress in a shirt and tie, and black or khaki pants and dress shoes.  Girls should dress in something formal, or something you would wear to church.

5:45pm:  Arrive at Tabernacle Baptist Church and get setup.  Low brass and school owned instruments will be on the band trailer at the back entrance of the church.

6:00pm:  Warmup and Tune on stage

6:30pm:  Perform as the opening act of the CJHS Awards Banquet.

6:50pm:  Finish and case instruments.  Students receiving awards from the school will go to get lined up, all others are dismissed with parents.

Percussionists will not be auditioning tomorrow. However if you could come to the meeting at 6pm that would be fantastic. That way everyone has all the info for next year. 

Mr. Robichaux is holding his audition rehearsals on April 28, May 5, 7 and then auditions May 11-15 all rehearsals take place from 3-5:30pm at the HS band room. 

Their is a lot of extra new stuff to teach when it comes to Drumline and the front ensemble. Mr. Robichaux likes to give the kids time to Ty out everything before they zero in on a specific instrument. 

Thanks all. 

Hello 8th grade band parents,

I thought I would remind you all about tomorrow’s audition for all 8th grade students moving on to the high school. 

Nothing looks better than a 4 year commitment to a high school band program on a transcript. Even if you did not sign up for the band classes, or you are on the fence about enrolling your child, you can still audition and we can get their schedule changed immediately. Please make sure to audition tomorrow. 

The audition will take place after school for all Junior High and High School students. Following the audition process there is a meeting at 6pm. 

The parent meeting at 6pm is very important so please plan on attending. 

We look forward to seeing you all there tomorrow night.

We will need a lot of parents involved to make this a special night so please look carefully into helping.  Thank you again for all your support.
