High Point HS Instrumental Music Department

Dear Parents/Guardians:

We have a few upcoming performances and I want to keep you updated.  On Thursday and Friday, March 19/20, 2009, the Concert Band will perform for the Annual Prince George’s County HS Band Festival at Roosevelt HS - Greenbelt, MD.  Specific date and time will be announced shortly.  Also on Thursday, April 23, 2009, at 7:00 PM, the department will perform at our first Instrumental Music Spring Concert.  This concert will be free to enter, but I plan to have concessions and baked goods sold.

This past December, I accepted the position of Fine Arts Department Chair.  Due to this added responsibility I am looking for the support of parents to aid me with upcoming performances and fundraisers.  I plan to have a Parent Meeting on Wednesday, February 18, 2009 at 7:30 PM.  Please plan to attend this short meeting (refreshments will be served).      

On Friday, May 1, 2009, the String Orchestra and Concert Band will perform in the Music in the Parks Festival at Six Flags: Great Adventure – Jackson, NJ.  The estimated cost for this trip is $102 per student.  We are beginning our first 2009 fundraiser next week: Falter Fundraising Candies.  We will run the fundraiser from Friday, February 6th to Friday, February 26th.  Below you will find a form obligating you and your child to a number of candy boxes sold.  Please fill out, sign, and return this form by Tuesday, February 3rd.

I look forward to seeing you February 18th.  Thank you again for your continued support.
