This is your weekly MUSIC DEPARTMENT update!
Hello Folks!
I want to give a HUGE thanks to everyone who has helped to make the Baker County Fair Concession Stand fundraiser a success! The Fair Concession stand has raised over $10,000 this year, which is amazing! Those monies will go a long way towards supporting the middle and high school band programs!
Hurricane Ian
I know guys, it's a little nightmare.... Homecoming events have been postponed until a later date.
We will plan to still have our Tuesday Rehearsal with Professor Creswell. As far as the Tocoi Creek competition goes, we are going to await information before we say outright that we're not going (though it seems likely what is going to happen).
Tomorrow during class, we will focus on getting the band room and band areas prepped for the storm, as well as making sure you have ways to get your instruments home to practice.
Stay safe during this unexpected break, folks!
