holidays, have a lot of fun, and raise funds toward the Spring Trip. It's also a wonderful way for parents to be involved with the community and the band program. </span><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Please talk with your students and encourage them to participate in this festive opportunity. <b><i>Rehearsals are scheduled for Thursdays, Nov. 7 and 14, from 3:30-5:30.</i></b></span><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">In the past, the band has been booked for 8-10 gigs. The students rehearse with Mr. Slabaugh and play from a library of simple holiday music in four parts. This
is a valuable musical experience for the students, as it helps them learn to play in small ensembles of 6-8 players and listen to each other with no conductor. Once trained, he will select student leaders who will be in touch with the parent coordinator. </span><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
