A HUGE thank you to all our SCHS Band community for a wonderful banquet this past week! What a joy it is to return to our annual celebration after a 3 year hiatus. There's still more to come as we wrap up this year and prepare for the next, so please read on for all the details in this week's Update: Upcoming Events:
Jazz Band Our Final JB performance will be for Chamber Music Night, Monday, May 16th outside on "The Hill" at SCHS (Arrive by 7:30pm). Many thanks to all our Cougar Jazz Band musicians for a great season! See you in '23! Concert Ensembles Chamber Music Night: Monday, May 16, 2022 Our annual Chamber Music Night with Hart MS returns on THIS Monday, May 16th from 5-8:30pm! All SCHS Band students are required to perform at least once this evening. If performing in multiple events, they may choose which event to perform. The SCHS Cougar Jazz Band will finish with their final performance of the year and end the evening at 8:00pm. This has always been a great event in the past-- bring your lawn chairs, blankets, and snacks to The Hill outside the band room and enjoy! Students can sign up for their performance times using this sign-up. Travel Update: Orlando/Walt Disney World for February 2023 Our next travel opportunity for the SCHS Bands has been announced: mark your calendars for February 16-21 2023, as we look ahead to performing at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida! You can view our tentative Itinerary by clicking here. Registration will open first to those enrolled in a Concert Ensemble class (Concert Band, Symphony Band, Wind Ensemble) for the 2022-23 school year. Should additional musicians be required for us to have a successful performance and meet travel requirements, additional spots may be released to students in Marching and Jazz Bands, but are not guaranteed. Additional information, including how to register, will be released before the end of this school year. Many graduating seniors attribute our Disney trip taken in 2019 for some of their best band memories-- can't wait to make some more in the coming year! Band Registration & MB Fittings Online registration for ALL BANDS (CB, SB, WE, JB, MB) will begin on Monday, May 16th. Parents should fill out the online registration prior to coming to in person registration. If they do not fill out prior to May 23rd, parents will be sent to the computer room to fill out registration prior to going through the fitting process. Here is the link for online registration: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/18c6UJg-SNJYDOd3Tx9h6b3z9MEj62wxgsP7w_Gan3AY/edit?usp=sharing_eil_se_dm&ts=627081d Also, on May 16th anyone with old shoes or polos they are wishing to donate are invited to bring them in. A box to collect donations will be placed in the band room by Monday, May 16th. May 23rd in-person Registration and fittings will be: 5:30-6:00: (Rising) Senior 6:00 - 7:00: (Rising) Freshmen/Colorguard 7:00-7:45: (Rising) Juniors 7:45 - 8:30 (Rising) Sophomores In person registration allows parents to pay in person via check, cash or credit. It is critical all marchers attend this event to get fitted for the upcoming season. During the in person event, students will be trying on their uniforms. Students should wear clothes such as biker shorts/regular shorts and t-shirts to the registration. Or wear these clothes under their other clothes. (We are hoping to avoid extreme bottle necks and avoid students going to the bathroom to change). It is CRITICAL for students to ensure they get the right size items ordered. If they order the wrong size, because they were not their they could be charged to return the item. We also need approximately 14 adults to assist with our in-person registration night! Here is the sign up genius for this: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090A4FABAD29A02-marching. We desperately need parent help; please consider helping us kick off the coming school year in the best way possible by volunteering. FOR TO-BE SENIORS: On May 25th from 3 - 5 pm, we will be taking the "rising seniors" pictures in their Marching Band Uniforms for their fall banner pictures. A sign-up for these pictures will be available soon. In the meantime, please mark your calendars and plan on getting your picture taken for your banners on this date! 2022-23 Spiritwear Our spirit wear shop for the ‘22-‘23 Band is now live!
