I hope everyone had a safe Halloween! As we leave October, we find ourselves already on the second page of the band calander of events! We had two students make District VII groups. John Gorecki made one of the Jazz groups for the fourth consecutive year, and Patrick Connaghan made the District VII honor band. Congratulations go out to them! If you would like to see them perform, the Band and Orchestra concert is at Hersey High School on November 11th, and the Jazz concert will be November 18th at Lake Zurich High School. The concerts will take place in the afternoon.

There are a few upcoming events to remind you of:

November 5th is the Craft Show- we have a bake sale at this event to help raise money for the program. All students are required to participate(bring a baked good). We are also looking for students to earn E.C by helping to work the bake sale. There is a sign up sheet in the band room.

November 15th is the Fall Jazz Concert- 7pm in the Theater. Both the Jazz Band, and the Jazz Ensemble will perform during this concert.

November 28th is the Jr, High Dessert Night- This is a night where we invite the 8th grade students to play with the Symphonic Band. There will be a performance by the Jazz Ensemble, a video presentation to the eighth graders and their parents, time for the boosters to speak with the incoming parents, and a short performance(dessert to follow performance).
