From the Director:
Another school year is quickly passing by and the Glasgow Scottie Band is looking down the hatch at another successful year in the record books and another successful year for the making of 2009-2010. Pep Band season is coming to a close with District and Regional Tournaments, possibly even state...Solos and Ensembles are March 7th. Times of student performances will be published on our website and the students have been informed of their performance times as well. Also, Concert Band Festival is coming up Saturday, April 18th. I wanted to let you all know that the site for that event has been changed this year due to construction on the campus of WKU. We are having it at Bowling Green Junior High School on Campbell Lane in Bowling Green. I want to strongly encourage you to attend this concert festival event. There will be a gathering of several schools playing that day. Our performance time is 3:00PM. It would be a great experience for you and your child as we have been preparing for a "Distinguished" performance from a "Distinguished" group of students.
With all the events of this year wrapping up, please be aware that planning for next year has also already begun. The marching show is currently being selected, and there are going to be needs for props, and equipment movers, and construction hands all throughout the summer. Be on the lookout for more of those details. Also be on the lookout for paperwork concerning signing up for the 2009 Glasgow Scottie Marching Band. And please remember your trip payments. We are coming to a near finish on these as we are preparing to send final numbers to Taylor Tours, our travel company, and prepare for a great week in DISNEY WORLD! As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me or call me and I will gladly listen and talk with you. Have a wonderful March! Spring is right around the corner!

FEBRUARY NEWSLETTER INFORMATION
Hello to all! Hope this cold weather finds everyone healthy, happy, and warm.
First of all we would like to say thanks to those individuals who volunteered their time to help with the fruit sales. As usual, the profit made for our band program was well worth the work.
Candy bar sales started January the 20th. A letter stating the details of the sale was sent home with your child along with a case of fifty chocolate bars. Please be sure to ask your child about it. Once they have sold their initial case of candy bars and turned in their $50.00 for that case, please contact us or Mr. Bonds to get more. You can reach us at 590-5305. Students will have the opportunity to earn $10.00 toward their student accounts for every case of candy bars that they sell. All unsold candy bars and money collected must be turned in to us or Mr. Bonds on February the 20th.
If you have any questions, please call.
