Donation Request

In early October, each instrumental music student should have brought home a donation request letter detailing why we need a little extra help with the budget this year.  We appreciate all who have already sent in a donation and just wanted to remind everyone else that there is still time to make any donation you are able to make.  

All County Orchestra Auditions

Good luck to all of our musicians trying out for All County Orchestra tomorrow:  Xan Xan Danckaert, Riley Finazzo, Greta Lunsford-Poe, Nivehda Rao, Antonio Gallardo, and Sydney Davis!  

November Movie Night

Our November Movie Night will be Friday, November 6, from 3:30 - 6:30.  This month's movie will be Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightening Thief.  

Tickets will be on sale at lunches Tuesday, November 3, - Friday, November 6.  Each ticket is $5 and includes a slice of pizza and a bottle of water.  Additional snacks are available for purchase.  Signed permission slips must accompany a ticket purchase.  If your student turned in a permission slip last month, we have it on file and there is no need to sign another.  All Magothy students are welcome and encouraged to attend.  

To make the evening a success, we are in need of ticket sellers, food donations, and chaperones.  Please volunteer to help with movie night.

We hope to see you all next Friday at the movies!

Spooky Strings Night

Spooky Strings Night is tomorrow, October 26.  Musicians will stay after school and should bring a snack to eat before the performance.  The uniform of the day is a favorite costume!  As always, chaperones are needed to help guide all participants to where they need to be so please consider volunteering to help out.  

Everyone is welcome to attend!

Bands By The Bay

Bands By The Bay is this Saturday, October 24!

Musicians should meet in the back parking lot (the staff parking lot in the rear of the high school near the tennis courts) by 1 PM.  At that time, t-shirts will be distributed and we will proceed from there to the field together.  

Musicians are required to wear their Bands By The Bay t-shirt and any kind of pants.  We encourage them to dress for the weather in layers.  It is acceptable to wear a long sleeve shirt or sweatshirt under the Bands By The Bay t-shirt.  

Chaperones are needed to help with transitions on and off the field so if you can stay and help at the drop off, your time would be appreciated!  

Pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, turkey, and cranberry sauce - family feasts are right around the corner!  Stock up on everything you need, or simply do your weekly shopping, with a Safeway gift card and contribute to your musician's spring trip fund at the same time.

The booster organization runs an ongoing fundraiser in conjunction with Safeway.  For every $100 in Safeway gift cards you buy, $5 is credited toward your student's spring trip fund while you still have $100 in gift cards to spend.

Get your family, friends, and neighbors involved - anyone can buy! 

(Safeway stores are in 19 states)

Gift cards make a great gift too.

We must have $5,000 worth of commitments before we can distribute the cards so plan now for all of your upcoming grocery needs.

Please see our Safeway gift card flyer for more information.  

All instrumental students should have brought home a spring trip interest letter this week.  The letter lays out a preliminary itinerary for the trip which is scheduled for May 6 and 7, 2016 to the Richmond, VA area.  

The bottom of the letter is a response form to gauge the interest of participants so we can begin to plan for accommodations (number of buses, number of hotel rooms, etc).  It is very important that we receive these responses by October 26.  If you did not receive this letter, you can print out a copy of the spring trip interest letter here.  Our musicians always enjoy the spring trip and we hope all of our music program participants will be able to join us on the trip!

Our October Newsletter is now available!  Please check it out for information on all upcoming events!
