Good Luck to Our IU Young Winds Participants –
We have 6th, 7th, and 8th grade band students signed up to participate in the Indiana University Young Winds program. I wish them the best of luck as they begin this incredible endeavor tomorrow. I can’t speak highly enough about this opportunity and the benefits of participating. More information is available at www.music.indiana.edu/precollege/year-round/wind/. The program meets on Saturday mornings this spring and has a $15 registration fee and $75 program fee.
8th Grade Tubing on Feb. 20 –
The 8th grade tubing trip to Paoli Peaks will be after school on Friday, Feb. 20th. The 8th grade band members look forward to this trip every year and we have a great time. The fee is $30 to cover tubing costs, pizza after school, and bus transportation. Students that sold the cookie dough fundraiser in the fall pay $20. Parents will need to fill out, initial the arrows, and sign the Paoli Peaks tubing release form. The release form can be found at http://paoli.peakresorts.com/cmsfiles/file/Tubing%20Release%20Form.pdf
Have a great week!
