Jag Weekly News, 10/9/16

We are all very glad that everyone is safe and accounted for following Hurricane Matthew's near miss. Unfortunately, the timing was not great considering the valuable time we lost due to the school's cancellations. However, we can and will make up for lost time with hard work, commitment and dedication during this week. 

This week is going to be very full and very busy. It is important that you follow the band website, the Facebook Page, and your remind messages to stay informed and up to speed on everything that is going on. 

- Please make sure that you have turned in all of your money for your band fee. If you still need to turn in money, please see Mr. Wiley for your balance and to set up times to finish your payments. 

- We are going to be rehearsing on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday this week. Please refer to the calendar for the times of these rehearsals. Rehearsals on Monday, and Thursday have been extended to end at 6:00 PM due to time lost to Hurricane Matthew. 

- We have added a little bit of time to the rehearsal on Wednesday to make up for lost time due to the storm. We will now rehearse from 1:00 PM - 6:00 PM 

- Tuesday, we will be marching in the homecoming parade and playing at Jag Challenge. The itinerary for those events are posted on pslhsband.com in the announcements tab. The call time for students in 2:00 PM and we will dismiss at 8:00 PM. 

- The itinerary for Friday's rehearsal/game/alumni night will be posted early this week. 

-We will be voting for Senior Homecoming Representatives at practice on Monday. The candidates are as follows: 

Males - Mynor Marroquin, Zachary Conner, Christopher Finken, Matthew Bell 
Females - Andrea Howard, Elisabeth Altvater, Jennifer Anderson, Sara Campbell, Annie           Steck, Claudia George. 

- Please make sure you are keeping up with your passoffs. the deadline for pass off #3 has been extended to this Wednesday, 10/12/16, due to the delays of Hurricane Matthew. If you don't pass off by then, it will go in the grade book as a zero. The end of the nine weeks is this Friday, 10/14/16. Passoffs not completed by Friday will go in as a zero for the quarter. 

Now is the time that we all need to show passion, show drive and show our JAG spirit. It will be a great and exciting week, band. Always remember that we are all very lucky to make MUSIC and to experience these special times together.
