Weekly Update 11/16- 11/20
This is your weekly MUSIC DEPARTMENT update!
Hello Folks!
Just one week until Thanksgiving Break! I know we need it! Please continue to power through until the break! We still have two rehearsals this week, and then we lose a week because of the break but our concert will not relent. Please don’t stop practicing your music!
Don’t forget, the band has a brand new website! A lot of it is still under construction, but over time we hope to make it a hub for our band’s activities and more. The domain will change soon, but currently you can find it at: https://mylesmoore.wixsite.com/bakercountybands. Go check it out!

Wind Ensemble Attire
Men- I need to apologize up front because I realize now this is not in the Band Handbook— however, in addition to your tux shirt and pants, you need to purchase this vest as a part of your concert attire. I recommend taking advantage of Black Friday Savings. S.H. Churchill & Co. Men's 4 Piece Vest Set, with Bow Tie, Neck Tie & Pocket Hankie https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077MMF11K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_MOAPFbWQNEEQQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Ladies- if you haven’t already, you need to purchase your Corelli Dress from Southeastern Apparel. Do this soon so that in case there are any errors you can exchange your dress for the right size. At this time, the band is not planning to do a group order. If you need help with sizing (first ask your parent) you can ask Wendy or Allie, and they should be able to help you. https://sepapparel.com/corelli-concert-choir-dress.html
