NEWS & EVENT INFORMATION

6th and 7th Grade Bands to Perform at Festivals

4/26/2019

 
Our 6th and 7th grade bands are currently preparing for their performances at the Sr. Hilary Invitational Band Festival held in New Orleans.  This festival hosts schools from all over south Louisiana and has several locations and days.  The bands all play three pieces that they have prepared for a panel of judges.  The judges will rate the band on each song selection, with a 1 or "Superior" rating being the highest rating.  

Our students have been working hard to refine their music for these performances so wish them luck!

 Students should arrive to school in band uniform (maroon band polo tucked in, black dress pants, black belt, tall black socks, all black shoes).  Please go to advisory as usual, eat breakfast, etc.  We will call you out when it is time to report to the bandroom.

There is no cost for this field trip, it has been covered by the fundraised monies from the WFC fundraiser.  
 
Students MAY NOT be allowed to participate in the band field trip if they have outstanding fundraiser money/band fees (so please clear these up) or significant referrals/write-ups for discipline issues.
 
Chaperones are welcome and greatly appreciated!  Please indicate on the permission form if you are available.  There may or may not be room on the bus, so please plan to follow the bus in your own vehicle. 
**Notes for Chaperones for both Festivals**     THANK YOU!!!!!
  • We will actually leave at 8:30 or as soon as the buses get back from their primary routes (this means for 6th grade we will be tight on time).
  • We will need some of you to ride the bus to help with monitoring children.  We will have 3 buses.  At this time there is no real way to know exactly how many seats we will have available for chaperones as bus sizes vary, the amount of room needed for instruments vary, etc.  Please plan to follow just in case. 
  • Especially with the 6th grade, help will be needed carrying percussion equipment and large tubas to the performance site.  Please meet the trailer once we arrive and help unload and carry anything you can.
  • After we perform, we will watch as many groups perform as time allows.  Students need to be absolutely quiet and respectful of the performers during this time.  Judges have been known to change ratings if for undisciplined bands!
  • We will go to nearby park (although not City Park like last year—too crazy!) to enjoy pizza.  Help will be needed to hand out pizza and drinks and to keep students in the designated area. 
  • Please indicate on the permission form if you would like to volunteer and email klafleur614@yahoo.com for any questions.
