The band room doors will be locked at 5:50 at which time all students should be in the auditorium.
Gummy Fundraiser form
Please send in the attached signed form with the money needed if you wish for your child to participate in the current fundraiser. For those that still owe money to MidSouth Solutions, or that owe band fees, this is a great way to take care of the costs.

Cookie Fundraiser contract and Band trip reminder
WSHS Band Booster Cookie Fundraiser Participation Contract
Attached is the contract for those wishing to raise funds for band fees, uniform fees, concert shirt cost, band trip deposit/payments or anything else beyond these items.
Reminder: The deposit for the trip has to be signed up by the 30th of this month. They have to have this to reserve seats on the bus, for the Symphony, and for the hotel rooms. Many students say they are going but only 19 have signed up. 45 have to be signed up for the trip to actually take place. If you are even considering this, even if funds are an issue (which you can call ETadventures and set a different payment plan), then doing so now is crucial.

Woodwind Symposium
Woodwind Symposium at the U. of M.
Hello everyone,
Above is a flyer from the University of Memphis, and below is a message from Dr. Robyn Jones, Doctor of Clarinet Studies:
I wanted to make sure you and your students know about our upcoming Woodwind Symposium on Sep 8. We have guest artists on each instrument, and there is an evening recital at 7:30 pm. For reed players, the owner of the “Reed Geek” tool will give a class on reed adjusting. There will also be various lectures and a mass woodwind reading session with Dr. Nguyen. It should be a great day!
Students can register here:
It’s only $10 for the whole day plus the evening concert.
This is a fantastic opportunity for woodwind players of any level. The chance to hear performances and attend clinics with musicians of this caliber is a rare opportunity, especially at the price listed.
Change to the schedule
The game at Rhodes on September 13th is now at Arlington HS on September 14th.
