Notes to Parents

 

Please refer to the syllabi for the various classes for my rules and expectations for each group, as well as the dates and times for football games, off-campus gigs, and concerts.

 

This page is for your information.  It will contain the items that I bring to your child’s attention during class time that they may not relay to you, but they should!  Please feel free to contact me via e-mail or phone if you have any questions, concerns or ideas for our wonderful instrumental program.

 

 

 

Welcome to room 408, a musical, busy and exciting place to be at Hayden!

 

Friday, November 21st:

          Baker University Jazz Festival – Gold Jazz Ensemble.  We have the bus.  We will leave at 7:00 a.m.  Chuck and Ann Hughes, and Kelli Legleiter have all volunteered to accompany the band that morning.  If you would like to attend and help chaperone, please let me, or Ann Hughes know soon.

 

          Football Sub-State at Andale – Wildcat Spirit Marching Band and Drum Line.  We have the bus, and one van.  I need parents who are willing to ride on the bus with me, and to drive the van and/or their own private vehicles.  My husband is driving our truck, and pulling the trailer for equipment.  I would like at least two other adults in the bus with me, one adult to drive the van, and at least two other drivers to accompany us.  If you can help, please let me or Ann Hughes know soon.

This is the list of students who are excused from this football game:  Alex Kaberline, Nathan Purcell, and Claire Killion.  If you and your child have a conflict with this event, please let me know immediately.  Thank you.

 

Many thanks to Dale Kirmer for volunteering to drive the bus all day for us, and to the ones behind the music, the Band Booster Club, for organizing volunteers and meals for the kids.  You are a blessing to me!

 

 

 

May God bless you abundantly!!

Lodare Dio!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Strange Request – Do you know of anyone who has a current Ks CDL and is available to drive the instrumental students to various events during the school year and the summer?  We have a bus, but I usually have a hard time finding a driver.  Just thought I’d ask!

 

 

 

PACE hours opportunities:

 

¯      I always need parents to help out with set-up and tear down for football and basketball games, concerts and gigs.  I also am in need of parents willing to drive students and equipment to our various off-campus events.

¯      If you are interested in any of the above, or have ideas, please contact me via e-mail and leave your name and way to contact you.  Thank you in advance!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For all home football and basketball games that the Wildcat Spirit Band plays for, your student will need to report to the band room first at the designated time.  We will say a prayer together, and then head out to set-up.  Your child must stay after the games to tear down, and make sure all the equipment is put away to my approval.  Your child must check out with me before leaving.

The same holds true for all concerts and off-campus events.  We meet, we pray, we set-up, we play, we tear down, we meet one more time before leaving. 

We are a family, and we do this all together!
