3 things for everyone. The Clothing Fundraiser orders are being picked up Tuesday first thing in the morning. This means if you still have orders, you can bring them on Monday, feel free. I will not be collecting any more on Tuesday however as I have to have it in the main office before school. Thanks to all that participated. Many people made a lot of money towards their trip.
Second, the trip costs $110 per person. Each item you sold takes $5 off the price of the trip. For example, if you sold 5 items, your trip would cost $85. I have totals that people owe and will be giving that info out on Tuesday. The balance of the $110 is due Friday December 4th. That check should be made out to
GRHS. If we get it out of the way now, we will not have to rush around later. The
GRMPA (band parents) have already paid for the buses, but we need to reimburse them.
Lastly, the make up early morning band rehearsal will be on Tuesday November 24th at
7:15 AM
at GRHS. Please let me know if you are going to be traveling this day. So far only one person told me about their plans so I expect all other band members to attend. Thanks for everything, and please do not forget the concert on December 10th!!!

To all 7th & 8th Grade Band members. First of all thanks for the rehearsal this morning. I know it is difficult getting here that early, but as I say, being a good musician does take sacrifice and discipline, and a huge majority certainly came through today! PS - It sounded great!
The clothing fundraiser started today. I gave each student an order form for the clothing and it is also posted in the files section of the website. The design in the corner of the sheet is what is on the shirts and pants except the polo which is simply a red and white GR. Each student going on the May 21st Great Adventure trip must pay $110 and this is the fundraiser for it. You can make a lot of money selling these clothes without much effort. Checks for clothing should be made out to R & D Promotions. If you receive any donation checks, those should be made out to GRHS.
If anyone has questions, please let me know. You do not have to sell anything, but you will still be responsible for the $110 if you are going. The money for the trip will be due December 4th. Those checks should be made out to GRHS. If anyone knows now they are not going on the trip, please let me know. Thanks!

I have attached the lesson schedule and lesson groups to the email I sent. Please check out the dates of the lessons and especially the exams.
