TREATS NEEDED FOR KENNEWICK TRIP

The band "food committee" is requesting treats for the upcoming Cavalcade of Bands competition in Kennewick. Any cookies, brownies, rice krispie treats, etc. that you can provide will be much appreciated. The kids will eat anything and everything! Please send in your goody donations to the band room by Friday, October 2nd. Any questions, call Diane Clinton at 892-5377.

The schedule for next week's trip to Kennewick will be posted in the next few days. I'm leaving for Seattle tonight and won't return until Monday evening. I'll be interviewing before the state selection committee this weekend and the 2010 State Teacher of the Year will be announced on Monday.

The "Eagle" Marching Band will be performing its entire show at Friday's football game. You won't want to miss it! See you next week.

Parents... I need your help...

In order for me to be fully prepared for each Marching Band rehearsal, I would like to request that if you have questions to discuss with me on those days, that you catch me before 5:30 PM or immediately after our rehearsal.

What is happening is that I’m getting out to the field later and later each evening which is posing two concerns: the safety and well-being of each student and maximizing the use of our time set aside for these rehearsals. I must be on the field with the students for the duration of each rehearsal.

The best way to communicate at this time of the year is through email. I check and answer my email on a regular basis. If that isn’t possible, I will be more than willing to meet with you at the times listed above.

Thank you for understanding and for your continued support.

Jim Loucks, Band Director
