\nStudents performing a solo and\/or ensemble will need to pay $5 dollars per event (due February 1st) Mrs. Deighton will be providing piano accompaniment for students performing a solo. Her fee is $40 (due Feb. 1st) dollars which includes 2-3 lessons and the performance. Performance times will be announced at a later date. You will need to provide your own transportation to JWMHS.<\/p>\n
\nOur Indoor Guard has grown from 12 members to 21 and working hard! Due to not having school for the next two Mondays we will have practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the next two weeks.<\/p>\n
\nStudents may use the band room to practice their solo or ensembles. I am also available for help during that time.<\/p>\n
\nIf you are a student who works, please arrange a work schedule to avoid being scheduled during our rehearsal times. Your boss will appreciate the advanced notice. (do it now)<\/p>\n
\nCome support Alex, Braden, Dominic, and Lilli, and as they perform with the All-County Band at River Ridge High School. The concert will start at 2pm.<\/p>\n
\nThis year Jazz MPA is being offered at two different times. To help us prepare for the Lakeside Jazz Festival we are opting for the later date. More information concerning the Lakeside Jazz Festival will come soon!<\/p>\n
