Our Disneyland trip was a huge success. Thank you to all the chaperones who helped keep kids organized and safe. We are working to get a photo album together to post on our website and Facebook page, and have already had a great response. If you haven't submitted yours, please send them to sequoiamiddleschoolband@gmail.com and we will get the pictures (and videos!) posted over Spring Break.
This Thursday, April 10th, we will have our annual Open House pizza dinner fundraiser. The Jazz Band will play, and we will be serving dinner from 5:00 to 6:30 pm. We are in need of donations, as well as volunteers to set up, clean up and help serve. Some volunteer spots are even open to students, so please check out the Sign Up Genius for this event and see what spots you could fill.
After we come back from a relaxing Spring Break vacation, we will head into our always-busy month of May. Make sure to have your calendars marked for all these events, and refer back to our website calendar and/or Facebook page for updates.
- Our next Band Parent Booster Meeting will be held in the band room on Wednesday, May 7th. We will review the open house fundraiser, and work through details of our May events.
- On Tuesday, May 13th we will have a Beginning Band Concert in McLaughlin Auditorium. More information to come after the booster meeting.
- Thursday, May 15th is the Kiddie Parade in the mall. This annual event happens at 4pm in the Mt. Shasta Mall, and is a cute parade of children and their pets parading through the mall. The Asphalt Cowboys traditionally ask our band to lead the way.
- "Outlaws and Petticoats" is the theme for this years' Redding Rodeo Parade, which is on Saturday, May 17th. Our attire will be jeans, our cowboy t-shirts, and cowboy hats.
- The Spring Concert will be on Thursday, May 22nd in McLaughlin Auditorium. Our programs will once again have ad space available, and students who sell ads will have money credited in their band accounts. Forms for ad sales are available in the band room, and the deadline to turn these in is Friday, May 2nd.
We hope everyone has a wonderful Spring Break.
