High School

Weekly Notes

Only 281 more hours until Christmas Break...but who's counting? This week, we will post a sign-up sheet for all final Solo & Ensemble decisions. All entries MUST be written on the sheet by this Friday - no exceptions! There were a handful of you guys who needed to delay poinsettia pickup - that is fine, but they will not last forever. Please plan to pick them up ASAP. 

Tuba Christmas players, we need to rehearse some this week. Check your StudentSquare for communication. Reminder, your performance is this coming Sunday, the 15th. Itinerary will be sent in the group chat.

This Tuesday evening, our JH Band students will be performing their fall concert. The concert will begin with the JH Jazz Band at 5:15pm. We'd love to see you come support your JH peers!
