This week

Just a reminder about the week

• Monday is a FULL BAND rehearsal from 6:00PM - 9:00PM in preparation of Tuesday.
• There is also a Booster Meeting on Monday evening starting at 7:00PM.  We are kicking off the fruit sale fundraiser and the March-A-Thon fundraisers.

• Tuesday is the COUNTY MARCHING EXHIBITION at Hiram HS. The students should remain with me after school.  We are feeding them Chick-fil-a and loading busses at 5:00PM.  I hope to see you all at the Exhibition.  It is the one opportunity to see us and all of the other bands in the county perform our shows.  It is early in the year so many bands will not have a complete show on the field, but we use this to get judges comments that will help us to continue in our preparations for our competitive season.  

All schools perform the National Anthem at 7:00PM and the schedule of bands is as follows: 
7:30PM North Paulding High School 
8:00PM South Paulding High School 
8:30PM East Paulding High School 
9:00PM Paulding County High School 
9:30PM Hiram High School 
Please arrive early to the Exhibition. Admission is $2.00 and middle schoolers get in free with their band shirt : )

• Wednesday is a FULL BAND rehearsal from 3:45PM-6:00PM.  This has been on the calendar since the beginning of the school year.  This will allow all band students to hear judges comments from the exhibition.

• Thursday is a FULL BAND White Out as normal from 3:45PM-6:30PM.  

• Friday we are away at Woodland HS in Cartersville, GA.  Our itinerary for Friday is as follows:
