Get Your Band On!

Start getting those chops back in shape!!!!!!!!!!! It has been approved for us to have an Alumni Band at the SHS Centennial Celebration on March 29, 2009. As many of you may be aware, our alma mater is turning 100!!!! On March 29, 2009, there will be a huge celebration of this occasion. They will have many activities scheduled throughout the day. Since there were talks on here about a "Band Reunion" I asked the Centennial Committee if it was possible for us to try and get something together for an Alumni Band. I have not worked out ANY details as of yet but I just got an email from Mrs. Manetta saying that Mr. Percy (the principal now) approved my request. This will be a HUGE undertaking and we will need LOTS of people involved. Please contact any fellow band members from when you were in school and let them know about this!!

I will keep you posted as more becomes available. I am planning to post copies of music somewhere once, it is decided upon. I will work closely with the current band director (Val Esotquie - not sure about the spelling of her last name) and ask Mr. J to get involved.

This is an exciting opportunity so please get involved!! For more information go to the Slidell High web site - http://slidellhigh.stpsb.org. (CLICK ON THE TITLE-GET YOUR BAND ON-TO GO DIRECTLY TO LINK FOR MORE INFOR)
