     Christmas Concert & Party
Due to circumstances which are beyond our control, the date of the band Christmas party and concert must be changed from Friday, December 12 to Tuesday, December 16.  We found out today and are trying to make everyone aware right away.  The concert will be in the auditorium and the party will be after the concert in the cafeteria, with the jazz band still performing. Refreshments will be served at the party after the band has been dismissed and goes through the line.  We are still asking everyone in attendance to bring finger foods to the cafeteria about 6:00 so the tables can be set before the concert starts.  No utensils will be needed, but the band boosters will provide drinks, napkins and plates.  We expect a large crowd of about 400-500, which includes the band students (please bring food accordingly).
Please help us pass the word along.  We look forward to seeing you there!
Thank you,
Cherri Hutto

     THSBAA Scholarship

The Thompson High School Band Alumni Association is again offering a scholarship for one band senior.  Click here for the application and click here for the guidelines.

 

     We need HELP!

Next year (2009/2010) we will have several holes in our booster board due to the fact that those positions are now being filled with "Senior Parents".  These positions are vital to the band.  Our band will not be able to function properly without these positions being filled.  We really need some people to start learning these jobs.  It will be very difficult next year for anyone that does decide to do one of these jobs with the guidance of someone who has done it before.  If interested, email Mr. Bubbett.  The positions are below:

 

President

VP - Fundraising

Concessions - We need someone that will be willing to help Wade Rider and the Drakes with Concessions next year.  We would like for this to be a committee, so that all the responsibilities are lighter.

 

     Spring Trip Information

We now have information on our spring trip.  Click here for the permission slip that you need to turn in.  This year we are going to DISNEY!  This year's group of Seniors are ones that never got to go to Disney on a band trip and they are excited!  They will be participating in a Disney program called "You're Instrumental".  You can learn about the program here and here.  You can also view/print the tentative information sheet and the tentative itinerary.

 

     New Email List

Pam Dixon will no longer be sending out our band emails.  She is a Senior parent and has now passed this duty on to David Drake.  If you did not receive an email from him about this, please follow the link below to join his list:

     Parents Picking Up Students

When picking up your child after away band events, please do not park in the circular area behind the band room.  Use any available parking in the new student parking lot in back.  We need the circular area for the buses and the equipment truck.  Thank you!
