This
Week’s
Sprayberry Band of Gold
January 15 – January 28,
2007
Announcements:
The Band of Gold is in need of someone to assist in
organizing our BIRDIES 4 CHARITY fundraiser. Birdies 4 Charity is
sponsored by Bellsouth and the Bellsouth Classic Golf Tournament. Please
contact Barbara Beaver at fundraising@sprayberryband.com
if you can help.
*********************************************************************************
The
8th Graders are Coming!!
And we are
VERY excited about the new group that will be arriving at Sprayberry in the Fall
of 2007! Thank you to Debbie Vonderohe,
Barbara Beaver and Jane Sprague for volunteering to make calls. I still
need 7
more current band parents to
make about 10 calls to the 8th grade parents in the coming month to
personally invite them to the
Incoming Freshman Informational Meeting on February 5. We want to make sure we get as
many there as possible to spread the news of how great being in high school band
is for their kids. You’ll be given information to convey, so don’t worry about
what to say.
If you can
help and are committed to seeing the growth of our great program, please contact
Vicki
Matthews.
Thank
you!

FESTIVAL
PERFORMANCE |
TBA |
Please make sure that you put these dates on your
calender now! Our festival performance is our End of Course testing, so it
is extremely important that we are prepared. These rehearsals will
compliment our in-class rehearsals, and will give us more time to prepare our
concert program. Attendance at these rehearsals is expected of every
student in the ensemble.
