● Order forms for DVDs of the exhibition will be available from Mr. Jackson when students return from Fall Break. Please ask your child to pick one up from the band office.
●
The previously scheduled Nov. 6 Symphonic Band concert will now be held
November 11 due to a scheduling conflict with the CHS chorus.
●
We have a private lesson sign up sheet in the band room for students
interested in taking private lessons. After fall break, lessons will happen
weekly through the end of the semester. The cost to you is $5 per week. We
are very fortunate that our Bobcat Band Boosters pays the rest of the bill
for our private instructors. This is the perfect opportunity for your child
to work ONE on ONE with a specialist on their instrument to get even better
than they are. Traditionally, CHS has between 30-40 students who
participate in our private lesson program. Students who have participated in
the program go on to make Junior Clinic, All East Senior Clinic, All State,
and even have earned college scholarships on their instruments. Please take
advantage of this opportunity. ● Students in the 9th grade auditioning for East Tennessee School Band and Orchestra Association (ETSBOA) Junior Clinic need to bring in $6 to Mr. Jackson by October 27th. It is our expectation that with such a strong 9th grade class, numerous children will audition. Central and Gresham usually do well at these events and let's keep the tradition going. This year marks the FIRST year of the addition of a 9th grade ONLY Junior Clinic Band. 9th graders will be auditioning for spots in the 9th grade Honor Band and are not eligible for any other band. Any student auditioning receives extra credit added as a TEST grade of 100 to their band average. Any student who is selected for the clinic ALSO receives additional extra credit.

12-13, 2009 From the Farragut Game:
From Band Booster President Jeff Heatherly:
I
have sent Mr. Jackson a menu from Chick-Fil-A for band members who wants to
order a meal before each game. The forms are available on the back of Mr.
Jackson's door. Be sure they turn it in with their name on it as well as
the money ($5.00). To keep Mr. Jackson from having to deal with the money
in any way, I am asking parents and band members to bring their money with them
to the Thursday rehearsal. They can turn it in to me at the end of rehearsal. The meals
will be delivered to the band room at 4:00.m. on Friday. There is no drink with
the meal. Please make sure you send a drink or money to use in a drink
machine with your band member Friday. If anyone has any questions please
call me (689-6760 or email
j_heatherly@knology.net). Along with performing at football games and Area Festivals, the important events we have participated in over the last few years are: 2006 TMEA CONFERENCE HALL OF
FAME BAND
