Band/Choir
Welcome to the online home of the Gladiator Band and Choir program!
The Beat Goes on!
The Oscars are tomorrow (Tuesday, November 10th)! Please note, this event is a fundraiser for the class of 2028, and as such students who wish to sit in the auditorium and watch the event when they are not performing will need to pay $5 to support the class fundraiser. Call time for all performers (High School Choir, Marching Band, and Jazz Band) is 5:30 in the Band Room. Formal Dress is required (think school-appropriate red carpet attire). If your student is struggling to come up with an appropriate outfit they could always wear concert black.
Fundraising Updates
Our current fundraiser will be Worlds Finest Chocolates (or Band Chocolates). Each student will be asked to sell at least one box of chocolate. Each box contains 40 chocolate bars to be sold for $2 each, for a total of $80 a box. High school students should have come home with permission slips stating that it is understood that for each box they take they must return $80 by the end of the fundraiser (November 30th). Students will only be allowed to take one box at a time to limit any financial liability. Additionally, there will be a prize for the top three sellers! This fundraiser will run from November 1st-30th.
New York City Trip
I have good news and bad news on the upcoming New York Trip. The good news, is that the estimated price per participant has been reduced to about $1,600! The sad news is that a large reason for the shift is that the New York Philharmonic performance has been taken off the itinerary. The reality was that the performance we were scheduled to see sold out before we could make our deposit. However, we still have some fantastic activities planned, including seeing The Outsiders on Broadway! If you are ready to book a spot for your student, use this link! An adult must fill out the registration information. If you haven’t registered yet, but intend to by the hard deadline of December 15th, please let Mrs. Wiley know ASAP!
