Dear Band Boosters,
 
Here is an update about some upcoming events. Please feel free to get in touch with us if you have any questions, comments@wchsband.org.

Winter Concert, December 10th, 2:30 pm
This concert will include all three bands: Winds 1, Winds 2, and the Symphonic Band. It will feature music of the season as well as traditional concert selections. The west gym is usually pretty crowded for this event. Come early if you want a particular seat.

Dining Tour Unlimited Books
These books will be available for sale prior to the winter concert. They contain several hundred "2 for 1" or other promotional coupons for areas restaurants. Cost is $30 and $10 goes to the band boosters. Additional information is here.

Kroger Gift Cards
Kroger has made available special re-usable gift cards. For any purchase made with these gift cards, 5% is returned to the band boosters. You can add money at anytime at Kroger's service desk. These cards will be available prior to the winter concert. Additional information is here.

Band CDs
We record the concerts and make them available on CDs. At the winter concert, you can pre-order your CD. Cost is $10.00.

Florida Trip - Medical Forms
Each student participating in the Florida trip must submit a notarized medical form. A blank medical form is here. Complete the form and bring it unsigned to the winter concert. We will have notaries available to notarize the form for you.

Florida Trip - Uniform Inspection
It is not necessary for the students to bring their uniforms to the Winter Concert for inspection. This is a change from what was included on the November 27 weekly band schedule that Mr. Tallman distributed. Please be sure the uniform is complete and in good shape. We will not have trailers in Florida and it will not be possible to conduct emergency repairs.

Florida Trip Evening Rehearsal, December 11th
Students going on the Florida trip will have an evening rehearsal from 7:30 pm - 9:15 pm. If necessary, there may be a second evening rehearsal on Monday, December 18th, from 8:15 pm - 9:15 pm.

Pep Band "B", December 12th
Call time is 6:00 pm for students assigned to play in Pep Band "B" at this boys' basketball game.

Jazz Ensemble Winter Concert, December 18
