These next 2 weeks are probably the busiest so far this semester. Please check to make sure you have everything turned in on time.

1. Fish Fry – Thursday
--PLEASE TURN IN ANY TICKETS AND MONEY THAT YOU STILL HAVE BY TOMORROW (Mon.). It is very important that we have an accurate count so we know how much food to order and prepare.
--Remember to send $5 by Monday to cover the cost of tea and cake.
--I will send out a complete work schedule in another day or two. I still need another person from 2-3:00 and from 3-4:00.

2. PTO Program – Thursday
--Students need to be dressed in concert attire and seated on the stage to warm up no later than 5:30 Thursday.
--The beginning band will perform first at 6:00 and we will perform right after (~6:10).

3. Bama & Auburn A-Day – Saturday
Juniors and Seniors, please see me if you are interested in playing in the stands with the Million Dollar Band/AUMB at A-Day this weekend. There is no cost to participate. If you are interested in marching at ANY college, this is for you. This one event is what sealed the deal for me when I was deciding which college to attend!

4. Solo & Ensemble Festival – next Tuesday
--Your registration fee for solo & ensemble is due before we leave next Tuesday. $5 per event.
--Make a copy of your music and number the measures for the judge sometime this week.
--I will send out an itinerary when I get our times from the district.
--Remember, if you are not attending the festival, you must passoff your piece by Friday, April 25th.

5. Banquet – 6:30, Saturday, 26th
--If you have not voted on awards yet, your LAST OPPORTUNITY is tomorrow (Mon.).
--Shirt sizes for you AND your guest(s) by tomorrow (Mon.) (price TBA, everyone pays)
--Number of guests by Thursday ($10 per guest, band members free)
--I have gotten 5 pictures for the slideshow. Send some to my gmail address (my school inbox is full).
--Jenna needs pictures to put in the scrapbook. Bring hard copies to her by Thursday. She would also like another student or two to help her put this together.
