CONGRATULATIONS to all our SCHS Musicians on a WONDERFUL Spring Concert this past Wednesday! We still have a LOT of music to make as we finish up the semester, as well as having our annual Band Banquet at Addison Oaks to anticipate in celebration of all we have accomplished this past year. With all that and more, here is this week's update:
Band Registration for 2018-2019 The on line registration is now open for all of Stoney Creek's music programs. This registration is separate from the class registration that was completed earlier. This allows music students to sign up to go to camp, get their uniforms, performance attire, etc. Please click on the following link to register your music student. It should take less than 10 minutes to fill out and you will receive a confirmation email stating that you have completed the process. https://goo.gl/forms/FDJL9Y7dL0D1QHhY2 We will finalize the registration on May 22nd. This night will be for getting fitted for uniforms, dress attire, spirit wear, as well as pay for items. Your student will also meet their fellow students, and if in marching band, their section leaders. It is very important that all attend. This is for all marching band, band ensemble and choir students and will be from 5:00 - 8:00 pm at Stoney Creek in the music wing (Auditorium side).

This once-in-a-lifetime trip will consist of two different performance opportunities: Performing on a Disney Stage in Walt Disney World (as professional performers with Disney Entertainment), as well as working with a studio musician in a professional recording studio environment to record our own film soundtracks. While we are down in Orlando, we will also visit all four Disney theme parks. Any student enrolled in a year-long band class for the 2018-2019 school year is invited to register for this trip! UPDATE: We currently have 38 students and 1 chaperone registered for this trip! The first 55 people to register (6 chaperones, 49 students) will have guaranteed seats, after which a waiting list will open. In order for the trip to proceed, the minimum number of travelers must be met (6 chaperones, 49 students). Should we hit 80 people (8 chaperones, 72 students) or more, the waiting list will be cleared and anyone who registers will be cleared for travel.

Please feel free to contact Mrs. Staniszewski with any questions-- we want to make sure EVERY student who wants to travel with us has the opportunity to do so. The last time SCHS Bands traveled to Orlando, we had over 80 students performing all together- and it was AMAZING! We hope you will join us for this magical trip! Comments are closed.
