Please see the attached note regarding upcoming voluntary performances for band students: Community Performances
If your child will be participating, the form is due by Monday, December 5.
Month: November 2016
Help needed
The concert band is performing a piece with some special effects and we need your help to make this happen!
Woodwind students need a drinking glass that they can use as a “glass harmonica.” The glass is partially filled with water and then by rubbing a finger around the rim of the glass, a high pitch tone is produced.
Brass students need a small set of metal wind-chimes.
Right now, we only have 3 glasses and no wind chimes, so if you have one of the above items that you are willing to let us borrow, please send it to school with your child by Friday, December 2.
Hoopeston Area Music Boosters Fundraiser Reminder
This a reminder that the Hoopeston Area Music Boosters are hosting their third annual silent auction THIS Saturday, November 12 in the high school gym. Information was sent home with students and here is the link to that handout: Music Booster Auction Information.
Ways to be involved:
- Band students are performing at 11:45. All students should plan to attend unless prior arrangements are made.
- The JG band, chorus, and the Cadet Band are having a cake-walk during the event. If you signed up to donate a cake or cupcakes, please deliver them to the JG band room by 3:00pm on Friday, Nov. 11 or between 10:00-10:30 on Saturday, Nov. 12.
- If you signed up to work the cake walk, please arrive on time. If you need a reminder of the time you signed up for, please contact me.
- Attend the auction! Preview begins at 10:30 and bidding begins at 11:00. There will be carnival type games for children (and adults!) and an inflatable obstacle course. There will also be concessions. Tickets are required for games, the obstacle course, and concessions. Tickets are $1 each. Of course, there will be students performing as well! This will be held in the High School Gym from 10:30am-1:00pm on Saturday, November 12.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

If your child is interested in performing Christmas carols at community events in December, he or she will need at least one of the Christmas books found on the order form below. Performances may be held at Autumn Fields and local businesses. These performances are VOLUNTARY, therefore, the purchase of a Christmas book is not required. These performances do not include the Christmas Concert on Tuesday, Dec. 6 (which is a required event, no extra book purchase necessary.)
