March Roars In!

March is here, and with it comes basketball playoffs, the Twality Musical, Music Is For Life concert at TuHS, Solo/Ensemble Contest on Saturday, and Skyview Percussion Invitational on Saturday. What does this have to do with us? Let me count the ways:

• We will pep at GBX playoffs this Wednesday - including pizza for all (yay!) at 4:15, with warmup afterward. Game time is 5:30 and should be done 7:30ish.
  
• We will sell concessions to the GBX playoff patrons. So far the workers are:
• Students: Eddie B; Sam A; Nicole N; Josh H; Evan F
• Adults: ??? (Want to sign up? Click here to contact McKee!)
  
• The Twality Musical kids have the cafeteria all days, all times this week. So we will be searching' for rehearsal space.  So far we look good for some gym time on Tuesday and Thursday for WDL - still working on WG space for Wednesday. More to come.
  
• Music Is For Life is the concert presented every Spring by Tualatin Valley Community Band to provide the opportunity for middle and high school musicians from TTSD to be able to perform their S/E Contest piece for a live audience prior to going to S/E. The Concert is Tuesday 3/3 at 7pm, at the TuHS Auditorium. There is no admission charge, so come on down and support your peers who are performing!
  
  
  
  
• Solo/Ensemble Contest is this Saturday at West Linn High School. See Irving if you don't know your performance time.
  
• The Skyview Percussion Invitational was added to our performance schedule when the S/E schedule was (finally) made public and we saw that WDL performers would be finished in time to compete in the contest in Vancouver that evening. Our Skyview schedule will be published by the end of the day Tuesday - watch this space for details.
  

Whew - that's a lot! Want to know more? Check back - more details as they become available!
