This is a reminder that this Friday night is middle school band night at West Orange High School. This is a required event for all Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Winds students. Forms went home last week, and are due today (Monday). Below is the content of the letter.
Also - we need 10 chaperones (no more, no less) for Friday night - We should be done between 8:30 and 9:00pm. You will only be able to enter the football game is you are an official chaperone. Please email Ms. Cannon (charlene.cannon@ocps.net) if you would like to help.
Here is the letter:
On Friday, September 21, 2012, all Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Winds students will be participating in West Orange High School’s Middle School Band Night. This is a very exciting event that helps all of our students make the transition from middle school band to high school band. Students need to report to the auditorium at West Orange High School by 5:55pm. Students will need to wear jeans and a tee shirt – they will be given a West Orange band shirt to wear upon arrival. Students may wear their choice of shoes, but they must follow Bridgewater Middle School’s dress code – no flip flops will be allowed. It is very important that all students bring their instrument and music but we ask that all students leave cases and “extra” items in their parent’s car or at home. There will be no place to store these things at West Orange. Students should eat dinner before they report to West Orange.
During the third quarter of the football game, we will be walking all Bridgewater students back to the auditorium. At that point, students will need to be signed out by their parent. The game begins at 7:30pm and we anticipate being done around 8:30pm, but this time could change as the football games do not always run as scheduled. If a student will be leaving with someone other than a parent, a note needs to be sent in at least 24 hours ahead of time. If there is a problem with transportation to or from West Orange, please let one of us know immediately so that we may begin working on a solution.
If you would like to chaperone this trip, please email Ms. Cannon to let her know. Chaperone spaces are limited and will be filled on a first come basis.
This letter and form serves as a permission slip and is due by Monday, September 17th. This will also be a grade in ProgressBook.
Please feel free to contact either one of us if you have any questions or concerns. We look forward to a great night at West Orange!
Mr. Antmann and Ms. Cannon
