University Band Update: December 1, 2008

Now that the marching season is over, we focus on our winter and spring activities. In the spring we focus on the concert band, jazz band, Winter Guard, Indoor Drumline, Solo & Ensemble, and District and State Concert/Jazz Assessments. Band is not over! We still need students practicing, we still need parents volunteering, we need our Cougar Band and Guard fans supporting at concerts and competitions! Please stay informed by checking in with the band website on a weekly basis. There is always something!

WINTER BAND CONCERT: TUES, DEC 9 (7:00PM)
The Winter Band concert will be on Tuesday, December 9th. All students are required to attend. The concert dress is black top and black bottom. Jazz I members are to wear their assigned uniform. Please invite family and friends to this event as it promises to be a great concert!

BAND ASSESSMENTS
There are a large number of band students that owe more than half of the band assessments. As of today, students should have covered $50 Band Camp Assessment, and $300 Fall Semester Assessments. There are way too many students that haven't covered half of those obligations. We cannot get through the year with this shortfall. All students that still owe any fall band assessments need to turn in $50 of their assessments this month. Our budget was based on students paying their band assessments. If everybody does their part, we can get by!

As usual, please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Musically yours,

Philip A. Obado
Director of Bands
