Message from the Director
Spring is FINALLY here! Along with warmer weather, longer days, and the great outdoors comes the preparations for the next marching season. We have passed out paperwork for the 2009 Scottie Marching Band. The show has been chosen, and the music is starting to be heard blaring from my office. Please help us as we begin to make preparations for next season. We are going to need all hands on deck this year--Lots of prop building, painting, equipment hauling, and cheering are going to be needed. We also will be having some TRIP PLANNING taking place this month. Be on the lookout for dates and times of a mandatory meeting concerning our Orlando trip. These will be hosted by our tour company, Taylor Tours. You will not want to miss these informative meetings.
Also, the preparations of a new year also mean the close of another. We have lots of events coming up in which you will certainly want to participate. Concert Band Festival will take place at Bowling Green Junior High School on Campbell Lane in Bowling Green, KY on Saturday April 18th. The 7th/8th grade band will be performing at 10:10AM and the Glasgow High School Concert Band will be performing at 3:00PM. We would love to have you in attendance for this event. It is probably our most important event all year long, because this is our Performance Assessment where we go and play for a panel of four judges who in turn give us a rating of Distinguished, Proficient, Apprentice or Novice--just like CATS testing. These students have been working extremely hard on their music for this performance and we would love to have a GREAT, SUPPORTIVE audience for this performance. Other upcoming performances include, our Spring Concert on Sunday, May 17th, at 3:00PM in Glasgow High School Gymnasium. This should be yet another enjoyable performance by your Scottie Band. There will also be Graduation tentatively scheduled for Friday, May 22nd and the Highland Games on Friday, May 29th and Saturday, May 30th. Both of these events will be required attendance for the students.
Finally, please stay up to date with your calendars...this time of year always gets crazy with everyone's schedules. If you feel the need to email or call with questions, do not hesitate. I will try my best to communicate as much as possible with you and your children. HAPPY SPRING! Let's finish the year strong!
