9/9/12 UPDATE

JA Band members after the pregame dinner stop on Friday. Congrats to the football Raiders for continuing their Mississippi-best winning streak with a victory over Pillow.







We ask that at least one member of each band family attend the JA Band Booster meeting on Tuesday at 6:00 in the band hall. Among the important items to be discussed:

MAIS MARCHING BAND FESTIVAL


We have learned this week that the marching festival will be at JA Raider Field on October 27. Parent help will be needed for concessions and logistics. This is a fundraising opportunity for the boosters.

SAN ANTONIO TRIP


Have questions about the BOA trip? Here is your opportunity to have them answered.

FUNDRAISING


The JA Band program could not provide our students the opportunities we do without the financial support, time and efforts of the boosters. Bring your ideas for fundraising projects and your willingness to help.

COMPETITIONS


We will discuss the local competitions at Clinton October 6 and Pearl October 13.

COMMUNICATION


Learn more about a new instant communication tool for JA Band parents and students, to share information on trips and when schedules change.
