Greetings Warren Band Students and Parents,
Welcome back from Spring Break! We hope that everyone stayed safe and enjoyed their time away from school. Here are some updates and reminders for the week of April 3, 2017 (Please make sure you read all items so nothing is missed): 1) Winter Guard JV Banquet (Completed) Thursday before Spring Break (March 23), an end of season "pot luck" banquet was held in the Almond small cafe area to celebrate the season for our JV Winter Guard team. Awards were handed out to all members. Parents and coaches were very proud of their efforts, including the highest score that a Warren JV team has obtained in many years. Congratulations to all our JV Winter Guard students on an outstanding year! 2) Winter Guard Competition (Completed) Last weekend (April 1 & 2), our Varsity Winter Guard team competed at the Midwest Winter Guard Championships, held at LaPorte High School (LaPorte, IN). The Varsity performed their best show of the season and placed 13th out of 18 teams in their new SA class due to very difficult competition. Parents and coaches were very proud of their effort and enjoyed their performance. Congratulations to our Varsity Winter Guard on an outstanding year! 3) Band Booster Board Elections (Reminder) - Elections for booster officers for next year will take place at the next booster meeting on Wednesday April 26 (7 P at OPlaine Band Room) - The four positions are President, Vice President, Treasurer & Secretary - We really need volunteers as there are significant vacancies, especially for the position of Treasurer! - Please consider running for an office for next year (must be a booster member and have a student in band next year) - If you are interested, please send an e-mail (name and position required) to any member of the following 2017 Booster Election nomination committee: Dawn Tsarpalas – [email protected] Jim Warda – [email protected] Judy Andrade – [email protected] 4) Warren Band Disney Photos (Reminder)- Many people took photographs during Warren Band’s 2017 Disney Trip. Due to the unusual large number of photos, some issues came up that required us to make special arrangements. If you’d like to share your photos with other members of the band, please share them with Matt Nevel to have them included on the Warren Band Boosters webpage, as indicated below. - Sharing your 2017 Warren Bands Disney Photos to Warren Band Boosters Webpage 1.Create a Google Drive, Dropbox, or other document storage location. 2.Share with Matt Nevel at [email protected] (make sure Matt has privileges to download the files) 3. Matt will then upload to Warren Band Boosters Webpage Please be selective when choosing photographs to share and feel free to edit them first, if needed. (for example: we do not need 10 copies of the Animal Kingdom's Tree of Life.) If you have fewer than 10 photos, you may send them directly via email to [email protected]. - We also setup a link on the main WTHS Band page (www.wthsbands.org) to go directly to the Trip Photo page.
