This is your weekly MUSIC DEPARTMENT update!
Hello Folks!
It was a good weekend for the Noles!
And the Jags!
.....Gators.
And it was also a good weekend for our Wildcats! Which means we are in the playoffs! Woo hoo!
We have a few things going on this week! So stay with it!
The Concert Tuesday Night will begin at 6:30pm at the BCHS Auditorium. Call Time for High School Students is 4:00pm. We will use the trailer to move quickly move chairs and stands after school on Tuesday. I will need a crew of people to help with this... this crew won't be able to go home so they should bring their change of clothes with them to school. At 4:00pm, we will need to warm up and do some spot cleaning with percussion.
On Thursday, the Jazz Band will perform at the Council on Aging at 11:30pm. Come directly to the band room 4th period and we will bus over.
On Friday, we now have a Post Season Football Game vs. Yulee HS. We will perform our Halftime Show. As our Uniforms are not yet clean, we will wear our band shirt and blue jeans. 4pm Call Time.
We have started up our Fall Fundraiser with Cherrydale! Here are our current stats!
We need every band student to register at www.shopfund.com! Then sell, sell, sell! This fundraiser will help us stay afloat through MPA Assessment Fees and other important expenses (like sheet music) as we enter Concert Season! There are also a lot of cool incentive prizes! If you send out your link, you earn chances to win prizes just for getting to click your link! So share your link on social media! Get those clicks!
Also, remind people that they want to support YOU and they want to support the BAND! Develop your salesman skills!

Things to Note 🎵:
Concert Attire
This is everyone’s reminder to take care of their concert attire:
Concert Attire- Wind Ensemble
Men- In addition to your tux shirt and pants (you can purchase any Tuxedo shirt and tuxedo pants) , you need to purchase this vest as a part of your concert attire.
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 a Drum Major and they should be able to help you. You can also ask veterans and alumni to see if they have outgrown their dress and if you might be able to purchase it from them.
Concert Attire- Symphonic Band
For Concert Performances, students must arrive dressed in:
• Black Long Sleeve Button Down Dress Shirt
• Black Tuxedo Pants (Slacks)
• Black Dress Socks
• Black Dress Shoes (Marching Shoes are acceptable)
If anyone has difficulty acquiring any of these items, please reach out to Mr. Moore immediately.
