Freshman Solo & Ensemble Contest The Freshman Band will perform Saturday, March 29 at Solo & Ensemble Contest, Held at Gateway Middle School in Maumee. Transportation will be provided, if the students need rides to/from Maumee. Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend; please remember no video, still cameras or recording devices are allowed at any OMEA contest. Violation of this will result in a disqualification of our event(s). Complete information packets were distributed in class this week. Schedule of Performance Times/Names of Performers:
Yearbook Photos While most of the marching band members had their pictures taken in the fall, others were unable to make it. Any students who did not have their picture taken by Life Touch and would like their picture to appear in the band yearbook may submit a picture to Judy Gardner. Unfortunately, pictures taken by a professional photographer or studio other than Life Touch cannot be used. Photos taken by family and friends, however, can be accepted. We also need other pictures of band events, personnel and members. (Digital photos don't work well for this purpose.) Please submit all pictures to Judy Gardner at 521 W. Poe Road. If you have any questions please call Judy at 353-1102. Information for ordering band yearbooks will be available in future newsletters. Nominations The nominating committee is looking for representatives of the Class of 2006 to join the Executive Band Board. Four couples are needed. This is a three year commitment. If you are a parent of a freshman band member and are interested in joining the Executive Board, contact Mike Coomes at 353-1102 or any Executive Band Board member. Cookie Dough Sale The cookie dough sale is over and we fell a little short of our goal of $2500.00. Because we have to order full cases, there will be extra items available. So, if you forgot to order a tub or two, please contact Mike Leetsma at 419-352-8124. If you sold for this fund raiser you will be getting a reminder that you need to have someone pick up your order at the factory warehouse on Bellard Drive off West Newton on April 16 between 3 and 6 PM. Thanks to everyone for their efforts!! BGHS Band Board
Band Banquet The Annual End of the Year Band Celebration Banquet will be held Thursday, May 22, 2003 at 6:00pm in the big gym for students and parents. Mark your calendars today! More information will be available in the April newsletter. OMEA State Finals Congratulations to the Freshman and Symphonic Bands for receiving I’s (ones) at the OMEA District Contest and moving up to the State Finals to be held at the Lima Shawnee High School. The competition is set for May 2-3, but the actual date and times assigned to our bands will not be known until later next month. Plan to be there and show your support our bands at the OMEA State Finals!! Kroger and Meijer Gift Certificates For those of you who shop at either Kroger or Meijer on a regular basis, why not do it with a gift certificate? This helps out the band and doesn’t cost you anything extra. Here’s how it works: You purchase one or more gift certificates for $25 each, and use them at any Kroger or Meijer store just like regular money. You’re not out anything and the band earns 5% off of each certificate sold. Everybody wins! Certificates are available at the Deutschman residence, 911 N. Wintergarden Rd, at the following schedule:
Saturdays, 10:00-11:00 am This is an easy fundraiser. All it takes is a little advance planning to buy certificates before you shop. So start now and get a supply on hand. Newsletter by Email ?
