BAND NIGHT - FRIDAY, MARCH 9

The GHS Band department will host its first ever "Band Night" this Friday, March 9. This is an event designed to introduce the band program to 8th graders who have already been in a middle school band and are curious about taking band at Grant. Our Wind Ensemble members will make music with the 8th graders and answer questions during this low-key, fun evening. If you know a family that has an 8th grader who's played in a band please encourage them to attend.

 

At this time we are looking for two parents who would like to help set up a little party area for the ice cream, and be on hand to answer questions about the Grant program. Time commitment would be between 7:30 - 8:30. If you can help out please email Susan Shepperd.

SWEET SOUND OF JAZZ IS TONIGHT!

The band department is minimally funded by the school district. In fact, the vast majority of money needed comes from start-of-the-year donations by parents and by the funds we raise at Sweet Sound of Jazz. Please join us!

The fun begins this Friday, February 10 at Westminister Presbyterian Church, 1624 NE Hancock (free off-street parking in the adjacent lot). Tickets go on sale at 6:15 ($15 for adults; $12 for seniors/students), doors open at 6:30 -- the silent auction begins, and then the music starts at 7 pm.

Some highlights from the auction include: gift certificate from The Mountain Shop, a basket of doggie goodies from Pets on Broadway, a handmade Steelhead Fly Fishing Rod, an art glass float, gift certificate to Columbia River Brewery. These and many other great items will be available for your bidding pleasure. REMINDER: payments must be made by cash or check. This keeps our costs down. Thank you for understanding.

On stage we'll hear long sets of music from the Jazz Lab and Jazz Ensemble, and feature our guests Rebecca Kilgore and Dan Barrett. Wall Street Journal said this about Rebecca: “With her opulent chops, lighter-than-air style, and, above all, her effortless rhythm, Ms. Kilgore is the living embodiment of the hippest singers of the big band era...” Dan Barrett is an accomplished top-notch trombonist who played in Benny Goodman's last orchestra. Dan has arranged some pieces just for our bands! Come hear these two fantastic performers play with our kids!

And of course, there are the desserts. We have lovely, luscious desserts coming from our parents as well as local bakeries. Eat a light dinner! There will be so much to tempt you at SWEET SOUND OF JAZZ!

JAZZ ENSEMBLE PARENTS

Are you wondering why you haven't heard more about the Jazz Ensemble trip in April? Well, that is because some big changes have happened. The Gene Harris Jazz Festival has changed its dates. However, I know that you have made plans around our calendar so we will not be changing ours. Instead we will be changing our direction.

Instead of heading east, we will be heading north. We have been in communication with the University of Washington and Central Washington University in regards to creating a very rewarding, if slightly less competitive experience for the band. More information will be made available as it becomes so. Just to be clear, the trip is still planned for the same weekend so please continue to keep that weekend clear, thanks for your support.

PIL SOLO/ENSEMBLE REMINDER

If you are performing a solo, it is not required, but it is very highly encouraged that you have an accompanist. This helps to bring the musical lines you are playing into context and helps to create a better experience for the performer and the audience. If you don't have one yet here are the names that have been on our website under "Private Teachers".

Legal notice: None of these private individuals are endorsed by the district or any member of the Grant Performing Arts Department. This is simply information made available. Use at your own discretion.

FYI: UPCOMING EVENTS part 1

If this is your first year in the Grant Band, or even if it isn't you may be unfamiliar with a few of the big events we have coming up. Here is important information you need to know.

Saturday, February 25th the Grant Band will be hosting the P.I.L. Solo and Small Ensemble Festival. This event is a city wide event. Students from the entire school district will be performing as soloists and in small chamber ensembles all day long. The first performances usually start around 8am and can go as late as 6:30pm.

Student volunteers are needed to help set up for the event after school on Friday, February 24th. They are also needed all day during the event. Students can earn community service points and/or NHS service hours for helping with this event.

All Grant Band members are eligible for this event. Wind Ensemble and Percussion Ensemble members are required to perform at this event. Another requirement that should be emphasized is that music performed must be of the "classical" genre. While we love our jazz and pop music, those genres are not approprate for this event.

Categories include: Flute, Oboe, Bassoon, Clarinet, Low Clarinet, Saxophone, Low Saxophone, Horn, Trumpet, Baritone/Euphonium, Trombone, Tuba, Percussion, Strings

Students perform for judges and hopefully a small audience. We would love for you to support our musicians by watching them perform at this event.

Judges may select district (The P.I.L. is the Oregon Music Education Association's District No. 1) champions to perform at the OSAA State Solo Competition later this year. Ensembles are NOT eligible for the state competition.

Information about the event will be sent home with students on Friday, January 20th. Registration materials must be returned before Friday, February 3rd.

SWEET SOUND OF JAZZ NEWS

The GHS Band Department and the GHS Band Boosters will hold the seventh annual "Sweet Sound of Jazz" dessert-concert at the Westminster Presbyterian Church Great Hall on February 10, 2012. Highlights of the event include:

- Amazing music by our award winning bands along with Rebecca Kilgore (http://www.rebeccakilgore.com) and Dan Barrett (http://www.blueswing.com/).

- A buffet of incredible desserts (find out how to donate your own special dessert below).

- A silent auction with fantastic local products and services.

Proceeds from the event benefit the whole band department. Last year we made over $3,000 -- let's break that record this year!

For the first time tickets will be available before the event. The Grant High bookkeeper will be selling tickets in her office between Jan. 23 and Feb. 3, 9am - 3pm. Tickets will also be available at the door. There is no reserved seating.

HOW YOU CAN HELP:

- It's time to bake! Let us know what delicious desserts you want to contribute. Cookies, brownies, or any single-serving desserts work the best. If you can donate or have questions, please contact Terri Wanke at hostapasta@yahoo.com or 503-288-1058.

- We need strong arms and backs to help set-up the event. If you can help please email Charlie Roberts at charleslaurie@comcast.net.

MARCHING BAND INFORMATION!

All musicians should be in the band room at 7:55am. Please don't arrive to early as volunteers will need a few minutes for last minute organization.

Remember if you want to wear gloves they need to not hinder your performance ability. If they are too thick or the wrong color you will be told to remove them.

If you are in uniform your gloves must be all white.

If you are a percussionist (wearing all black) your gloves must be all black.

black stocking caps are optional for percussionists.

We must be in formation at the parade route before 9am. That gives us very little time.

The parade starts at 9:45am.

A flag raising ceremony is held at the conclusion of the parade. at around 11am the flag is raised.

This ceremony will include a public prayer (I do not require students to particpate, but do ask that they remain quiet and respect the beliefs of others). If you are uncomfortable with this please let me know and I will find a project that your student can do during this time.
