This is your weekly MUSIC DEPARTMENT update!
Welcome Back, Folks!
I hope everyone had a restful Thanksgiving Break! I know I sure did! Lots of Turkey, Ham, Candied Yams, and Mac and Cheese!
Traditionally, December is an extremely busy month, and even though we don’t have our usual performance load we still are going to be QUITE busy! Please keep up and be ready to work on Monday! We don’t have time to lose anymore!!
You will notice an added game for this Friday. The Wildcats won their string of Playoff Games so far, so now we get another Home Game this Friday! If we win this one, we get one more! And if we win that one? Who knows what will happen? We will be playing in the stands, with no halftime performance. GO WILDCATS!

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
If anyone has difficulty acquiring any of these items, please reach out to Mr. Moore immediately.
