Hi Music Community,

We are having our next meeting on Monday at 6:30 pm in the cafeteria.  I have attached the agenda and meeting minutes from the prior meeting.  We have a lot of events in April and welcome anyone who can make it to join us in our discussions.  We are also still in need of emails for all parents to finish out the year strong and help set up next year so if you do not see a fellow parent's email on the list, please forward this email and ask them to add their contact information (their name, child's name & class, and email). 
Please note we have 1 open position still to fill for this year.  We need someone to help with Band events.  There are about 2 events that we need to a coordinator to transport all the kids' instruments to and from the competition event.  
Open positions for next year that we still need volunteers:
President
Fall Fundaraiser
Choir Programs
Notes & Floats
Band Events
Please let me know if you are interested in any of the above.  I can provide more information and direct you to the current committee member.  
Thank you so much everyone and hope to see you all at the meeting!

RHMS Winter Concert

Wednesday, 12/20

7:00 – 8:30 PM

RHMS Gym

-All students are expected to stay for the entire concert!  It is very important that all of the musicians support each other by listening to the other bands!  Please send me an email (mrawlinson [at] campbellusd.org) if your child will be unable to stay for the entire event so that I can arrange a make-up assignment.

-When the students are not performing, they should be sitting with their parents!  Unsupervised students have been very disruptive in past concerts.

-Please observe proper concert etiquette!  There should be no talking, walking, or flash photography during the performances.  If you need to leave your seat, please do so between the songs or bands.

-Please be sure your child has the proper uniform! 

            -Eagle Band – black shoes, black socks, black pants, band t-shirt

            -Concert Band – black shoes, black socks, black pants, green band polo

            -Symphonic Band – band shoes, black socks, black pants, black band polo

-Eagle Band members must arrive at 6:30 PM for warm-ups!  All other students should arrive by 7:00 PM.
