The Season Starts Today!

Hello Marching Barb Fans!

Tonight marks out first official performance of the 2014 season.  Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 pm, meaning halftime will likely happen between 8:15 and 8:45.  

For those of you getting students to rehearsals, please note that September is pretty different from our normal schedule.  There were quite a few conflicts with the field and we have lots of Tuesdays and Fridays in there.

Come see DHS students perform with DCI

If you are interested in seeing Garrett Farnum or Caitlynn DeLapp perform with the Pioneer Drum and Bugle Corps on Saturday June 28 at 7pm in Madison, WI, please email Mr. Lundin right away at steve.lundin@dist428.org

Tickets are $12 and you can get me money at marching band practice on Thursday June 26.

There are a few music events coming up that I wanted make sure you were all aware of. These are all on the calendar, but things always seem to get a little crazy once the weather finally starts to change, so I thought a reminder might be nice.

If your child registered for band next year, you should have received your band camp mailing. If you did not, please let us know asap. If you did get it, please return it to us as soon as you can. The work that needs to get done in the summer is so much easier if we have everyone's info in early. Thanks in advance for helping us with this.

April 12- IHSA Organizational Contest at Belvidere North HS. Concert Band, Wind Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Combo will be performing. All 4 groups will be riding together and returning together unless a parent/ guardian plans on providing transportation. Please notify me in advance should you need to do this for any reason.
Call time at DHS is 8:30 and our performances all happen between 10:55 AM and 1:30 PM. We should be home before 3 pm.

April 16- Ford's Driver 4UR School Fundraiser for Music Boosters- 12:30-7:00 pm in the DHS parking lot. This is such a great fun and easy fundraiser. One person over 18 from each household should absolutely come out and test drive a Ford. The music boosters gets $20 for each person who agrees to take a test drive. It's right here at DHS and it's during the first day of parent teacher conferences. It only takes a few minutes and you will NOT BE HASSLED into feeling like you should buy a car. It's really a good will event where they're giving us money just to encourage people to come out and learn about their cars. We did it last year and it was lots of fun even on a really cold day. I've attached a poster if you'd like to help spread the word.
April 17- Parent/teacher conferences

May 8-DHS Band Concert- here at DHS at 7 pm

May 19- DHS Percussion and Steelband concert- here at DHS at 7 pm

May 20- Dist 428 Jazz Festival-time and location TBA

May 23- Band Banquet- here at DHS- more info coming soon

May 26- Memorial Day Parade

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions/ concerns.

Thanks so much,
Mr. L

> The black band pep performance cancelled on Saturday has been rescheduled for tomorrow with a call time of 6:00 pm.  Since I'm sure the late notice will make it difficult for some members of the black band to attend, please consider attending if you are able, even if you normally play with the orange band.
