Reminders!

I hope that all of you guys had a GREAT break! As we start school tomorrow a few reminders....

  • We have practice after school tomorrow until 5:00pm. Practice will be at ZEJH (hopefully the gym will be available. If not, we will do the best we can.) Bring your flag.
  • If you owe doughnut money that is due ASAP. Please put it in an envelope with your name on it.
  • We are hosting a Dance Camp on December 18th and 19th at THS. It is open to all Elementary age students K-6. (They do not have to attend school in the Talladega School System.) Information has been given at their local elementary schools, however, invite anyone you think might be interested. Registration is THIS FRIDAY! December 4, 2009 at the THS bandroom from 4:00-6:00pm. More information can be optained by calling Ms. Todd at 315-5706 or via email at THSdancecamp@hotmail.com. Registration fee is $25.00; includes instruction, t-shirt and participation in the Talladega Christmas Parade.

This week's practice...

As you heard on the announcements Friday afternoon practice will be on...

Monday, November 16, 2009
THS Lunchroom
3:40-5:00

*be sure that you are on time and have your white flag and comfortable clothes to dance in.

We will begin at 3:40 and go til 5:00, however, remember to let your parents know that we have to put the room back together before anyone leaves. It typically takes about 15 minutes.

If you need to bring your flag to school you may bring it to the bandroom when you arrive and prop it beside the door during the day, however, don't forget to come get it so you will have it for practice.

Practice

Thursday, November 12, 2009
THS Lunchroom
3:40-5:00
Bring your White flag.
Wear clothes that you can move in and your Dance shoes.
*Notice the time change to 3:40. This is to give a little extra time between ZEJH and THS, due to the fact that demerits will be inforced for Tardies. Students should be dressed and ready to go at 3:40. Flag is considered equipment; do not forget to bring it.
*5:00 is when we will stop practicing. We will still have to move tables back; it typically takes about 10 minutes. Students are not dismissed until all tables are put back in proper position.
