Congratulations To Our Solo & Ensemble Participants –

Percussion Tutoring at BNL –
Mr. Jones will be available Thursday evening, Feb.9 to help percussionists with music and other percussion techniques from 6:00 – 7:30 pm in the BNL band room. This is a great opportunity for our percussionists to learn drum set, receive some help with bells, or learn snare rudiments.
8th Grade Tubing on Feb. 17 –
The 8th grade tubing trip to Paoli Peaks will be after school on Friday, Feb. 17th (make-up date will be 2-24). 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 or butter braid fundraiser 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
