WF Band Weekly: Nov. 27 - Dec. 2, 2017
We hope that you all have enjoyed a restful and joyful Thanksgiving. We are back in full swing this week until the end of the semester. December is always a busy time for musicians; I look forward to celebrating the season with excellent music.
ALL fruit orders and money are due on Monday, November 27. We must place the order on Tuesday to ensure delivery before Christmas break. Monday is a B-day. If you have class on A-days, do not forget to drop off your orders/money to the band room by the end of school.
Band Boosters, on Monday anyone available can check-in with the front office as early as 2:30 to assist. If you are coming at 3:30 or later, you may use the band room door. After we have finished tabulations, we will have a brief meeting to discuss December calendar items.
