On Sunday, December 12, the band will play at the Brookland Baptist Church following the Christmas parade. Tentative start time is 2:45.
On Monday, December 13, the band will be having their annual Christmas Concert! Students need to arrive at the auditorium at 6pm, with the program to start at 7pm. The Band Boosters will be there to accept your donations. We will also have sunglasses available for purchase. These will make great stocking stuffers for the biggest of Brookland Bearcat supporters!!
We look forward to seeing everyone there.
This will be a Band Booster meeting to be held on Monday, November 22, 2010 at 7pm in the auditorium. We will go over a few items with regard to band booster business, but the main item will be discussion by Mr. Hogard regarding band trip in the spring to Branson. If your child is going to attend this trip, then parent attendance to this meeting is mandatory, as per Mr. Hogard.
We will have sunglasses there if anyone wishes to purchase any at that time.
We hope the first partial week of school went well for everyone.
