FW: Scottie Band All-District Band Results

The Glasgow Scottie Band Program has been involved in the 2009-2010 Third District All-District Band for the past 2 weekends. The audition process consists of students auditioning against students from approximately 40 other middle and high schools in South Central Kentucky. A BIG congratulations should go out to all of the students who made the extra effort to go and audition. AND, after the results came out, the Glasgow Scottie Band Program was very well represented, placing more students in the All-District band than any year for quite some time, with 44 students receiving honors. We had more 7th and 8th grade students than any other school in the district, and overall, 9 of our students earned the DISTINGUISHED HONORS OF 1st Chair in the DISTRICT! The students and their placements are as follows: 7th/8th Grade Band (26 Students) Corbein Barfield--4th Chair Euphonium Griffin Botts--2nd Chair French Horn Jacob Cooper--5th Chair French Horn Emma Dickinson--17th Chair Clarinet Trevor Edwards--1st Chair Clarinet Catherine Elleman--2nd Chair Bass Clarinet Ashtin Foushee--4th Chair Alto Saxophone Dalton Goad--9th Chair Trumpet Owen Griffith--4th Chair Tuba Kayla Hall--5th Chair Flute Matthew Higginbotham--6th Chair Trumpet Hailee Lopotosky--3rd Chair Oboe Kelly Lynch--9th Chair Clarinet Ashleigh McBride--1st Chair Oboe Jessica McCorkle--6th Chair Clarinet Wesley Miles--1st Chair Tuba Sydney Norman--2nd Chair Alto Saxophone Andrew Polson--8th Chair French Horn Julius Shirley--1st Chair Snare Drum Ken Shishino--1st Chair Trumpet Christopher Staples--Alternate, Clarinet Jalasia Tobin--2nd Chair Bassoon & 8th Chair Clarinet Cameron Tutt--1st Chair Tenor Saxophone Victoria Watson--3rd Chair Mallets Rebecca White--10th Chair Flute Taylor Workman--2nd Chair Euphonium 9th/10th Grade Band (11 Students) Jerry Bowles--Alternate, Trumpet Aaron Cambron--Alternate, French Horn Caitlyn Cook--4th Chair Clarinet Daneesha Faulkner--Alternate, Bass Clarinet Kiera Mayes--7th Chair Flute Justin Meredith--1st Chair Trumpet Adam Pennavaria--Alternate, Bassoon Schaefer Olson--5th Chair Flute Katelyn Rushing--Alternate, Clarinet Dakota Smith--12th Chair Trumpet Krysten Wood--10th Chair Flute 11/12 Grade Band (7 Students) Tiara Bush--5th Chair French Horn Daniel Cambron--4th Chair Trumpet Michael Higginbotham--1st Chair Tenor Saxophone Jamey Buchanan--1st Chair Clarinet Meghan McGuirk--2nd Chair Bassoon Felicia Fisher--2nd Chair Bass Clarinet Travis Bishop--Alternate, Tenor Saxophone PLEASE GIVE ALL OF THESE STUDENTS PATS ON THE BACK WHEN YOU SEE THEM TODAY!!!!

SATURDAY, NOV. 7TH – SEMIS AND FINALS INFO

– Decorate Cars
Parents will meet in GHS parking lot facing Columbia Ave. to decorate their vehicles. Don’t forget to bring your paint markers, posters, Scottie Band car magnets, Scottie Band car flags, and anything else that you would choose to use to decorate your car for state.
– Explanation of Beaded Safety Pins and Pennies
When students have their bag check in the band room, Nina Kinslow will pass out and explain the significance of the safety pins and pennies.
– Depature from GHS
Parents pull out onto Columbia Ave. and pull over to the side with flashing hazard lights then honk horns and wave as the buses pass. At this point you may fall in line behind the trailer. The buses won’t leave until parents get on Columbia Ave. The police will lead us through Glasgow including the intersection in front of Wal-Mart without any parents left behind. We will be able to pass through any stoplights and four way stops. The route is from GHS to South Green St. turning right onto 31W. Then turn left onto Happy Valley Rd. at Five Star to Cave City. Spread the word to your families and friends so they will know that they can park along the route to show their support and cheer us on as we leave town.

- Arrival at Semis (Christian Academy of Louisville)
When the buses arrive at semis (Christian Academy of Louisville), all parents of senior band members are invited to meet at the buses for pictures. As each senior gets his or her uniform bag off the trailer and comes down the ramp, a golden dollar will be placed around his or her neck. At this time, a picture will be made of each senior with his or her parents and family. The golden dollar will be worn under their uniforms the remainder of the day. Parents of other band students are invited to come and make pictures of their child as well so remember to bring your cameras. It is a special day, and we all want to capture the memories!
- State Meal at Golden Corral
After we perform at semis, everyone is invited to join the band at Golden Corral, 4032 Taylorsville Road, Louisville, KY 40220 for our state meal as we wait for Mr. Bonds to arrive with the results from semis. A reservation has been made and the cost of the meal is $12.79 per person. This price includes the entire buffet (which is top of the line) and your drink.
