Ms. Munday’s News & Notes…

What a great Fall concert last week! Threats of power outages did not materialize and the show went on! All of the participating student musicians played to their maximum. Mr. Myers and I are so proud of them! Thank you, parents, for coming and supporting the concert.

We have another concert on Friday of this week, our annual Elementary Tour, where we go to the three La Cañada elementary schools and perform for the students. This is always a great day of fun and performing. Parent chaperones are needed for this event. If you can, we would love to have you volunteer and spend the day with these great kids. If you are able to do this, please contact Yvonne Lim.

Championships Information

Championships are just around the corner… We’re still ironing out all the details, but are preliminary plans our outlined below.

Costs

If you haven’t yet paid for the Championship trip, now is the time. Please remember that this trip is not a fundraiser… the costs cover the expenses of the transportation to get to/from Clovis, two nights stay at the hotel, and a group meal. We have tried very hard to limit the expenses associated with the trip. The cost per student is $230.

Checks can be made payable to “LCHS MPA” and placed in a envelope with the student’s name and deposited in the black box in the band room.

Friday, November 22nd

We’ll have a rehearsal after school until approx. 5:30pm. We’ll change into full uniform and will perform our 2019 show under the lights at the stadium for all Friends & Family. Admission will be free, so start inviting everyone! After the show, we’ll change, load the truck and be off to Clovis. There will be some sort of dinner, but we’re still working out the details on that one.

Saturday, November 23rd

Saturday morning, we’ll have breakfast at the hotel and then we’ll have rehearsal in the parking lot at the mall adjacent to the hotel to prepare for our Championship performance that evening. After rehearsal, the students will be on their own for lunch at one of the many food choices at the mall. We’ll regroup in mid-afternoon and travel to Kingsburg for our performance at 9:04pm. Dinner will be as a group and some sort of snacks will be served – again, details to follow.

Sunday, November 24th

We’ll find out at Awards on Saturday evening if we qualify for Grand Championships on Sunday. If we do, we’ll eat breakfast and prepare for performance. Grand Championships will also be held in Kingsburg.

A detailed itinerary will be provided soon, so keep an eye out.
