Is This the Best Small Band Ever?!?

THS Marching Ensemble - 2010 NWAPA Class "A" Champions! WOW!
(And according to the fans at the McKenzie Classic, we ARE the People's Choice - oh yeah!)

We Love Equipment!!!

Check this out! Now that we have more things in the pit than we have people in the Marching Band (HA!), how are we going to move it all???

Well, how about a TRUCK!!!

See how BIG it is?!?

We're very, very happy...

How Creative Are You?!?

Are you creative? Put your thinking caps on and let your imagination run wild, because THS Marching Band and Color Guard has the opportunity to create and star in the Landmark Ford commercial that will introduce the new Ford Fiesta - wow! And the timeline is short - we'll be filming next Thursday evening August 19 - so we'll need to work quickly. Think about "Fiesta!" and how we could portray a great party (McKee and Irving are thinking about the song "Celebration!" - what do YOU think?) So check out McKee's Band Page! for all the particulars, and let's start working!

Wanna Earn Band Account $$?!?

NOW is the time to log on to McKee's Band Page! and see what Balloon Fest Security and Concessions shifts are still available! The schedules are filling up quickly, and if you don't sign up, you'll miss the opportunity to have funds applied to YOUR Band Account! Do it now...

Want to Earn Some (Band) Money?!?

Soon, very soon, information will be posted on McKee's Band Page! for Balloon Festival Security, Balloon Festival Soccer Concessions, and Fireworks! Stay tuned - our goal is to have it up Tuh-day!

OH, and BTW, Happy BD to Lizzie! :)

Hey Folks -

A small moratorium on Band information from McKee, until after graduation weekend. Then, full-speed ahead!

See you all then...

WDL/WG Fees

Hi WDL and WG Folks!

It's time to pay winter program fees, so that we can pay our terrific instructors and our entry fees to the competitions we'll be attending. And the good news is that the individual fee this year will be $300 - what a deal!

Fees may be paid by check made out to THS Band Boosters, or transfers from Student Accounts may be requested, providing there are sufficient funds to cover the amount requested. Please place checks in envelopes and put both checks and transfer requests in the Black Box - you know where it is! :)

Let's plan to have 1/2 of the fee amount paid by January 29. The entire amount should be paid in full by February 26, so that our obligations can be met. And as usual, if anyone needs an adjustment to this schedule, please email McKee and we'll talk.

Time To Meet - January 11

Hey Band People!

It's time to get together and talk about all things Band - what a great idea! On the agenda will be information about Solo and Ensemble, TV appearances, the Spring Disney/California tour, and RhythmFest, which is just around the corner!

Meet tonight at 7 pm in the THS Library - see you then!
