Weekly Newsletter - november 16, 2025

Sent 11/16/2025 1:40 PM

As we are still in the November lull, I don't have much for you this week.

Our sock fundraiser is underway, so you should have received text messages from the students linking you to that sale.  Have fun shopping!

And per Mr. Sayre, as there are no classes next week, make sure you take your instruments home after Friday to practice as we have concerts starting the week we get back.

Here is what I have for you this week.

Sock Fundraiser

Our sock fundraiser is underway.  This is a new fundraiser we are trying out this year. The students sent out text messages this week to family and friends linking them to our sock fundraising site, and I see some orders have already come in!  

Everyone loves fun and crazy socks, and with Christmas coming up, you can find some fun gifts and support the band at the same time!

The fundraiser runs through 11/24.

Go Eagles!

a word from Mr. Sayre...

Hello Eagle Band Community!

It was a smooth transition into Zero Hour Concert Bands this week. Thank you for your patience and for jumping right into new literature. With conferences and Thanksgiving break ahead, we hope you enjoy time with family and friends and take a moment to reflect on what you’re grateful for.

A few reminders:

• Please be in your spot and ready to play at 7:30 AM. The focused warm-up time is already making a noticeable difference in rehearsal quality. Keep it up.

• Our boosters continue to do outstanding work supporting the program. Let’s back their efforts by making the sock fundraiser a strong success—watch for their updates.

• If you still have a uniform please turn it in as soon as possible. There is a clothing rack in the band room that you can return it to.

Rehearsal Schedule This Week:

• Tuesday, Nov. 18 – No after-school rehearsal

• Wednesday, Nov. 19 – Color Guard Class, 4–6 PM

• Thursday, Nov. 20 – Percussion Class, 4–6 PM

• Friday, Nov. 21 – Please take instruments home for break

Coming Up:

• Winter concerts: Jazz on December 4 and Concert Bands on December 11. Our rehearsal time is limited, so individual practice will help ensure strong performances.

• Tuba Christmas is December 13 and open to all tuba and euphonium players. Rehearsal will be held at EHS at 10:30 AM.

Go Eagles!

Mr. Sayre
