We won our game again last Friday night, which secured us another home game. We face off against Hillgrove this Friday for the 3rd round of playoffs. We also had our All In One Meat Pick Up on Friday and Saturday. Thank you so much to the volunteers who assisted with that process. Special Thank You to Derek Warren for leading the efforts!

Chair Placement Auditions • Tuesday, December 3

We learned that we a large number of students who are traveling with our history department to a field trip on Thursday who will not be back until late on Thursday evening. Because of the conflict, we are moving our chair placement auditions to December 3. This will give our students an extra week to prepare. Please make a note of this change. Students were provided with their audition material on the first day of school. We work on scales and sight-reading daily in class. Visit our Audition Page for more information regarding auditions. The etude for this audition is the GMEA Lyrical Etude for their respective instrument and grade (9-10 Concert Band CB and 11-12 Symphonic Band SB).

District Honor Band Auditions • Saturday, December 14

Students who signed up to audition for District Honor Band Auditions should report East Paulding High School on December 14. Our time spot is between 2:00PM and 3:00PM. Please arrive in time to sign in and warm-up before 2:00PM. Auditions are heard on a first come, first served basis. Spend enough time in the warm-up room to make sure that your instrument is working. Do not over practice in the warm-up room. No points are earned in the warm-up room, but other students tend to want to show off how fast, high, loud that they can play in the warm-up room. This is not the time for this. Check that everything is working, make sure that you are feeling ready, then get in line to audition. If the line is long, remember that you can play a few notes before you start your audition when you get in the room. The auditions are not blind, so dress up a little bit. Wear something comfortable, but wear something that looks nice. You don’t have to be in a tuxedo or evening gown, but dress to impress. First impressions are important.

Dr. Carr will be on site in the tabulation room if you have any issues.

Our band booster club applied to sponsor a family for Christmas again this year. We are sponsoring 1 family for Christmas this year. This is a great opportunity to give back this holiday season. All volunteers are greatly appreciated but please do not feel pressured to participate. Participation is completely optional.

The family that we were assigned have a total of 5 children, (14F, 12M, 10M, 6F twins). Please list your name beside the gift that you will purchase.

Once you purchase the gift please label it with the child’s letter or number and bring it to the band room, unwrapped by December 1
