My Apologies...

I am sorry that I have not sent this week's update sooner. Both of the boys have been sick, and I have been kept very busy running between doctors and pharmacies.

On that note...

I will NOT be at Badin after 6th Period (F Period) on Friday because I must take Jordan to Cincinnati Children's for a neurological consult. If you need to take instruments home, you MUST take them no later than the end of Concert Band class on Friday or you will be locked out.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Parky's Farm

Despite the nasty weather last week, Parky's Farm was a fun time. Thanks to Sarah Begley for pinch-hitting as our 2nd "Chaperone" for the evening.

Currently, we have reached our "minimum" number for Sunday night, but I would hope that we could have another 2-3 students and/or adults sign up in order to cover us in case of call-offs (like those we had on Friday).

If you turned in a liability waiver for last Friday, you need to fill out another one for Sunday!

See you there!

Football, Marching Band and Drumline...

The Badin football team is currently ranked 6th in the Region, which would make them a playoff team if the season ended today. Plan to have a Marching Band rehearsal on Friday, October 30 from 3:00 - 4:00 to prepare for playoffs. We will use the Chicago/Styx/Doobie Brothers show as the playoff program.

Also, plan on having an AWAY football game on Friday, November 6 for the 1st round of playoffs. In all likelihood this game will take place at a location AT LEAST 2 hours away from Badin. More details about report time, meals, and other considerations will be announced once the playoff picture is certain.

To prepare for Open House on November 1, we will have 3 Music Room clean-up days: Wed. Oct 28 from 2:30 - 5:00, Thurs. Oct 29 from 2:30 - 5:00, and (If needed) Friday, October 30 from the end of Marching Band until 5:00.

Class points or Service Hours will be available for all participants. Remember: Oct. 30 is the END OF THE QUARTER!!!!

Due to Mr. Schubert's travels out-of-country and the Music Room cleaning days, Drumline will resume its regular Wed and Thurs rehearsals on Wed., November 11.
