A Note from Mr. Thurmond
12/10/09 08:20
1. The Symphonic Band will be opening their season next
Monday, October 19th by performing in the Fall
Orchestra Concert. After the orchestras perform, we
will be playing two very beautiful selections, On An
American Spritual and An American Elegy. Students in
the Symphonic Band are to arrive in the band room by
6:40pm fully dressed in their concert uniform. The
concert begins at 7:00pm. This does not include the
Concert Band, however, they are encouraged to come
watch the concert.
2. At our last competition of the season, UCM Festival of Champions, tickets will cost $10 for spectators. We have an opportunity to get 20% of that back per ticket sold prior to the event. If you will be travelling to Warrensburg on Saturday, October 24th to watch the Titan Pride play, please send CASH ONLY to school with your son/daughter to purchase the tickets through Mr. Thurmond. You may start purchasing these tickets immediately.
3. On our last scheduled home football game, Friday, October 30th, the Titan Pride Marching Band will be entertaining the audience at halftime with a brand new performance, Michael Jackson's Thriller. With it being the night before Halloween, we thought we would do this performance in costume. We are asking that all members of the marching band create a zombie costume to wear. We have asked them to go to Youtube and look at the video to get an idea of what we are looking for. We are requesting that they stick to the theme of Thriller, however, no masks may be worn. Students should arrive without make up on their faces, as we will be performing the pregame ceremony in our traditional marching band uniform. During the first half, we will come back to the building to apply make up and get into costume for the halftime show. All students need to have their costume in place for the Tuesday, October 27th rehearsal, so we can rehearse in costume.
