I NEED to know if you intend to go to Disney in the fall. Not to put the pressure on but the mater of going or not is resting on your shoulders. Especially the wind players.
You can e-mail me, leave me a voicemail at school, or comment on this post.

Do You Want to Go to Disney or NOT?
Folks,
It is imperative that I receive a Disney interest form from EVERYONE. They were due last week. I've currently got 4 flutes, 4 clarinets, 2 trumpets, 4 low voices, 3 percussion, and 3 guard members on this list and that's not nearly enough to warrant a performance trip to Florida.
Here is the list I haven't heard back from yet:
Emily A, Chad, Breeann, Bethany, ZC, Josh, Stacie, Hetheringtons, Maxine, Rebecca, YoKo, Tony, Mekosh, Laura, Maria, Brian, Jenielle, Kaley, Amanda, Yeselskis

Twin Valley Band / Jr. County Band
Here's the info:
Jr. County Band is open to 7th & 8th grade students in good standing with their school's performing ensemble(s) - that means you have to participate in marching and/or concert band at NS.
Interested students need to see me and sign up for the draft before Monday January 12. The way it works is all the band directors get together and draw a number out of a hat. Then in order of that draw, directors get to assign their students to the open seats in the festival. So what happens is sometimes I might draw number 8, and I want to send a french horn player, but four of the seven band directors that go before me also have french horn players. If they take up the four open french horn seats, then I'm out of luck and can't send my french horn. So signing up with me doesn't necessarily mean you're automatically in the festival.
The festival this year will be held at Williams Valley on the first weekend in April. There is a Tuesday evening rehearsal (3/31), another Thursday 4/2, all day Friday 4/3, and a concert Saturday afternoon. Students participating in the festival will be mailed their music ahead of time. At the Tuesday evening rehearsal students will audition for seating to see which first trumpet is first chair and so on.
There is ONE big catch. The Jr. County Band festival this year runs the same week as NS's spring musical Guys and Dolls. That means I won't be able to be there. (Mr. Shoener will probably be able to take students to the festival). It also means that students may not participate in both the festival and the musical.
Consider yourself told.

The Off Season Begins
Friends,
Contratulations on a well played Holiday Concert this week. Soon we will have these caroling gigs out of the way and we can quit humming Chrismtas tunes all the time.
I wanted to drop everyone a line and give some crutial updates...
The School Baord approved the Disney Trip. That being said, two things need to happen. EVERY marching member needs to take home, fill out, and return the current interest form (it's yellow) with all the pertinant information. The form is due back by next Friday (caroling day!).
The second thing that needs to happen is everyone hoping to go to Florida needs to get serious about fund raising! I don't want anyone stuck in a situation of not being able to afford the bills as they roll in. Not only is that a bummer for the individual but is a disapointment to the group and can cause logiscial problems on the planning end. I want to see everyone go along, and go along for little out of pocket contribution.
Update #2 - The Play [he says with a miserable shiver of discontent] or as I like to call it, the Spring MUSICAL has been announced. I am in need of players for the Guys & Dolls pit band! Let me know by Christmas break if you're interested. Music will arrive early in January. Reminder - you may NOT audition for the cast, become disatisfied with your part on stage, quit the cast and play in the pit. If you quit the show, you quit the whole show and probably shouldn't show your face in the auditorium until mid-April.
Update #3 - The clock is ticking for old uniforms and hats and stuff... Anyone interested in having a little tattered and possibly moldy piece of North Schuylkill history needs to talk to me about taking home these little nuggests of nostalgia. All of it is going to be donated to the land fill in the sky over Christmas break.
I'm working on an update for the web site. I know it's been a while. I've got my personal lap top up and running again AND finally some "free" time [he says with finger quotes because it's only free to dedicate to something that probably should've already been done] now that marching season and the Holiday concert are more or less wrapped up.
Is Egg Nog the only Nog out there? I mean, I'm a fan, lets experiment.
-Be Well
