Band Store Students need to settle their Band Store accounts by May 17. After that time, the store will still be open; however, on a cash only basis until next fall. There are students still carrying balances. We can accept cash or checks, made payable to BGHS Band Boosters. Grades, diplomas and transcripts will be held in the main office for students who owe money. Good Luck Our student teachers this semester have done a tremendous job! Both will graduate in early May, Miss Roof from UT and Miss Webb from BGSU. Both are actively interviewing for jobs and attending seminars while teaching elementary and high school students every day. We wish them success!!
Pictures, Pictures, Pictures
Yearbook Photos Needed Please send your duplicate pictures to Melanie Mattingly as soon as possible. We are working on the yearbook for this year and need your pictures to make it a success! Remember that any pictures sent to me cannot be returned, so send me your duplicates with Symphonic, Concert, or Freshmen band labeled on the back. We cannot use digital pictures, they are too blurry to reproduce. Please turn them in to me the night of the Band Banquet, May 23, or you can drop pictures off at my house: 605 Flanders. The last day to turn in pictures will be May 31. We can then include contest rehearsals, Band Banquet, May Fair Pops Concert, and Memorial Day pictures. So, pull out those cameras and get ready to take some pictures! Please call me with any questions at 352-0454. Thank you for your participation.

Slide Show Photos Needed Photographs from the 2001-2002 band year are needed for the slide show presentation at the Band Banquet. Please contact Peggy McClanahan at 354-3451 to make arrangements. These photos will be returned to you. They are needed by May 1. Senior Parents A reminder to all senior band member parents to get pictures to Cindy Brechmacher ASAP. She can be reached at 352-6687. Band Banquet Help Needed Anyone available to help set up the gym at 2:30 pm for the Banquet on May 23, please contact Sandy Stoots at 686-7111. The more help, the quicker the work will be done. Thank you! Friends and Family Band The Concert Band will host our first ever “Friends and Family Band” to perform at the May Fair Pops Concert. We are looking for “post-high school age” former band members, including parents, relatives, alums, and community members who are able to attend 1-2 rehearsals and perform with us on Tuesday, May 14. Please see the flyer included with this mailing for additional information, then contact Mrs. Hann to register, 354-0100, ext 332. The more the merrier! Summer Study Every year we encourage students and their parents to consider private study on their instruments, during the school year, or the summer or both! The next newsletter will contain a list of teachers available. For those currently taking lessons, if your teacher has openings in his/her studio, let us know. Also, many summer camps still are taking applications. BGSU has several specialty camps, including sax and clarinet camps. Mrs. Hann is returning for her 10th year at the Wooster Music Camp! At that facility, there are two string orchestras and five concert bands of varying ability levels (beginning to advanced high school). Whatever the level, all of our students can benefit from a little summer “inspiration”!
Class of 2002 Certainly your families are very much occupied with graduation / employment / college / career plans! In most 2-4 year schools, there will be opportunities to continue your band membership. Don’t leave your instrument at home! As you attend summer registration activities, be sure to ask what options you have to “stay musical”! Most schools DO NOT require band members to be music majors, especially in the smaller schools. Check out the display board in the front hall nearest the High School gyms – Bobcat Alums are all over the area in college band programs!
