HAPPY SPRING BREAK!

Happy Spring Break Everyone! 

I just wanted to bring to your attention that I updated the Calendar.  You will notice for the next two weeks we have MANY rehearsals planned as we make a mad dash for the end of an outstanding season.  I also added a reminder that Nashville fees are due on Tuesday, March 22, 2011.  Most everyone knows what they owe or close to it, however, you may get the remaining balance on Monday when we return.  ( I was going to mail them out but STI is down and I have no addresses... sorry. ) 

I do want to let you know that when you are figuring your fees.  We will not be doing the luncheon.  You can remove this from your payment list.  Schedule wise it just appeared that it would be better to allow time for students to spend time with their families hanging out in the hotel, exploring downtown, etc.  Everything else remains the same; hotel, parking and cost of ticket for the event.  Don't forget that donut profit was 2.50 per box and whatever Jack's Coupons you sold can also be subtracted from what you owe.  (Coupons are due with fees on March 22nd)

Enjoy the rest of your Spring Break!

Calendar

The calendar has been updated:  Friday we will have practice after school until 5:00 pm.  Be sure to bring your uniform.

Calender update...Practice next week

Due to the ZEJH band traveling to MPA and rehearsing on Tuesday afternoon, the Ellis Emerald Practice on the Calendar has been changed to MONDAY, February 21, 2011.  Afterschool until 5:00pm. 

Also don't forget that on Competition weeks we rehearse on Friday as well.  I will update times as soon as they are final.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone.  

Please take a minute to look at the Calendar.  It has been updated.  

Our regular practice day will be Tuesdays.  

We should be able to get in the gym more often now, 

but I will still have to let you know prior to the rehearsal where it will be. 

EE practice UPDATE

Ellis Emeralds Practice Scheduled for Monday, December 13th has been cancelled due to uncontrollable scheduling conflicts.  We will not have another practice until after the Christmas Break.

After the break we should be on a more regular schedule and be able to secure floor time in the gym.

Please check the calendar over the break for updates.

Have a Great Break and Merry Christmas!

Dance Camp

Thank you to all of the Ellis Emeralds, Dega Darlins and Dega Addition that helped make our Elementary Dance Camp a HUGE success.  I am so proud of the work our girls do on a regular basis, but I am even more proud when they are able to pass that along to others in the way that they did this week.  The final event was outstanding.  See you at the Christmas Parade on Monday Night!  (Don't forget... dress warm in and "Christmas Like", bring you Elf hat and your Streamer.) 

Winter Guard Camp

The Annual Winter Guard Camp will be held on November 12th-13th at THS.  For details and more information click here. 

After reviewing the information feel free to contact Ms. Todd with any questions that you may have.

We are looking forward to a GREAT season!
