AND a word from Mr. Sayre...

Hello Eagle Band Community,

Congrats to the participants in the Solo and Ensemble Festival this last weekend!  We had some fantastic performances by our Eldorado groups and we are proud of your work.  Coming up we have a lot to prepare for next year and a lot to recognize the work of the students this year. Stay strong and keep up the good work!

Trip Band: We have an exciting week coming up!  We need to play through the remaining music for our performance on the deck of the USS Midway.  Our performance selections will include:
Armed Forces Salute Medley
Midway March
Eternal Fathers, Strong To Save (Navy Hymn)
Pirates of the Caribbean
Glory to the Yankee Navy

We will pass out paper folders and sheet protectors for your trip band performance music on Tuesday.  

Percussionists: if you have a bell set please bring it.  We will load our percussion instruments into a piano cart - taking as little room as possible and making it simpler to transport - for our performance.  

Students not going on the trip: Get caught up on school work and stay posted for what your instructions will be on Google Classroom.  We will be playing much of the music for the trip at Graduation.  

Lettering forms: will be sent out after the trip.  

Jazz Band Auditions: The Audition material will be from the “Jazz Allstate” audition material.  See Mr Sayre for sheet music.  Auditions will be in early May.  

Leadership Auditions: Will be in early May.  Information will come out after the trip.  

These last weeks will come by rather fast!  We have a TON of music to get ready so stay strong and keep working hard!

GO EAGLES!

Mr. Sayre
