Jazz Band Practice
Jazz band will meet after school on Monday from 3-4:00pm to pick out pieces for the Holiday Concert. Please stay if at all possible to read through some new charts.  Rehearsals will normally occur on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school.

Pep Band
Pep Band will begin on November 28th.  There are 13 performances this year including Boy's Basketball, Girl's Basketball, Hockey, and BGSU Women's Basketball Games.  All students are welcome to attend any performances they wish to attend.  In order to receive an award for Pep Band, a student must attend 9 performances throughout the season.  Sign up sheets will be posted on the band room door for each performance.

Lake Orion Trip
Plans are progressing for our trip to Michigan.  By this point students should have signed up for a room, their bus, and a group for bowling.  We have decided to include a trip to the University of Michigan for their annual Marching Band Concert in Crisler Arena.  This concert will include many of the pieces that were played by the band throughout their season.  We are able to get a discount for the group at $9 per person.  Students can begin bringing in their money for the concert at their earliest convenience.

Susan G Komen Race for the Cure

Dear Parents,

The Susan G Komen Race for the Cure will be held the morning of Sunday, September 27 in downtown Toledo. Many people from Anthony Wayne are participating in the event this year and it has been suggested that the band could also participate in some form. I asked the students last week if some of them would be available to play at the race and got several positive responses. This event was not on the calendar originally and will not be a mandatory event. It is my hope that we can put together a pep band to support the many participants and survivors who run in this race. In order for this to be a successful performance, we would need to have at least 45 musicians. I hope that you will encourage your child to participate in this worthwhile event. Most of our lives have been touched by a family member, friend, or co-worker who has been diagnosed with cancer and participation in this event would be a fitting way to honor and remember those people.

Sincerely,
Roy Young
