ASSIGNMENTS: This week’s assignments are listed below!
Spring Trip: Mr. Moreno spoke with Perform America this past week. They are currently thinking that each participant will be receiving back around 75% of what was paid into the trip. This is a pretty significant feat especially that there were no obligations for any of the vendors to return any of the companies to return the fees. Having said that, the final figure is not completed. Once they know the specific total amount and timeline we will let the families know how we will distribute funds back to you.
Auditions: We should be finalizing lists within the next few days. The lists will be posted by alpha, not in chair order.
Boosters: It is time to elect the CFHS Band Booster executive board again. Here are the positions up for voting:
The student leadership meeting is tomorrow at 2-3:30 pm! All interested students should have
1) the student leadership form filled out
2) parent permission emailed to Mr. Moreno.
The meeting will be held online and only students that have parent permission will be allowed into the room. Others will be declined by the host before entering the room. The meeting will start promptly at 2 pm. Mr. Moreno will open the room at 1:50 so please start signing in at that time. If you have any questions, please email Mr. Moreno promptly!

Reminder: We will continue to take detailed grades for the work being done for our assignments and not just a general grade for completion. Please be diligent and let us know if you have any specific circumstances that we can assist you with. We are here to help, Just let us know! All late work will be accepted for weeks of 3/16-4/3 for FULL CREDIT throughout the 9 weeks.
Times are filling up for instrument pick-up and drop-off. Please email Mr. Moreno to reserve a time. Seniors and non-returning members MUST drop off any school owned equipment (instrument/tuner/original) to the band hall on Tuesday 4-7, or Wednesday 9 am to noon.
