I thoroughly enjoyed the band during the Pep Rally today. I was stunned when I saw some of the same kids playing the horns turn around and play the drums. What a tlented gorup you have!!

JA BAND BOOSTERS


From Booster President Catherine Arnold:

Many thanks to the parents who provided the pre-game supper for the band on October 23: Charlotte McClellan, Nancye McCowan, Kim Burns, Nikki Williams, Lisa Thomas and Catherine Arnold; and on October 30: Hope Burford, Corrie Sigler, Nikki Williams, Charlette Oswalt, Jim Schott, Karen Radosevich, and Lisa Thomas.  Lisa has done a fabulous job organizing these meals during the football season, and we thank her! 

As the marching season comes to a close, I also want to thank the many parents and siblings who volunteered on our Mat Crew under Terri Fisher's wonderful leadership! Thank you, Terri!


I would like to call everyone's attention to a JA Facilities survey that was emailed out to parents (and students too, I am told) over the past few weeks. This survey provides a great opportunity to speak up about our need for band hall renovations-- there is a specific line item about the band hall on the survey-- or any other suggestions you might have for JA's facilities. The survey doesn't take long at all to complete electroncally. If you missed it, or if it went the way of your trash folder, I would imagine the JA office could re-send it to you if you called and requested it.
