Support SHS Bands this Valentine's Day

2/12/2014

 
Good Morning SHS Band Families,

Valentine's Day and Spring are both quickly approaching, so what better way to celebrate, than by supporting the SHS Band Program?  One of the great features about our fundraising company is that it offers year round access to their website, with all profits being sent to the SHS Band
Support the Band
department.  In other words, every time you make a purchase through the company, you are also donating money to SHS Bands.  The more your purchase, the more money is donated.  So, if you are still looking for the right gift this Valentine's Day, need a birthday present, or just want to feel good knowing your money is supporting the band program, then consider purchasing something through our fundraising website.

To access the website you can click the button on this post, or visit our Donations and Advertising.  Follow the written instructions on the top of that page to access our specific account (so that the profits of your purchase will be linked to SHS Bands), and browse the thousands of items on their web mall.  

If you have any questions or problems, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you in advance for your generous donations!

Mr. Geller

2014 -2015 Calendar Updated

2/10/2014

 
Calendar Page
Good Afternoon Band Students and Parents,

I wanted to let you know that I have updated the band calendar, and it now includes all of the anticipated 2014 - 2015 Marching Band dates.  This includes, but
is not limited to Band Camp, Football Games, Special Events, Competitions, and Parades.  Please review the calendar as soon as possible and mark these dates in your calendars.  All of these dates are considered mandatory for participation in the band program at SHS.  If you have a conflict already in the calendar, it is essential that you let me know about it soon so that we can continue planning for next year.  

I want to also draw your attention to two new events that are on next year's calendar.  After talking with the students, they have decided that they want to participate in at least one Marching Band Competition next year.  At this moment, we are still working out the details, but I have marked two competitions that we are tentatively going to participate in.  I have also marked on the calendar a performance at the 2014 Band Day at the University of Illinois.  This is an event where many high schools around the state come to perform with the Marching Illini during one of their football games.  It is a great opportunity for the students to not only see other marching bands, but they get to see the nations premier college marching band perform as well.  This is sure to be a very fun and memorable trip.

Here is the list of current dates for 2014-2015:
  • Band Camp 8:00am - 4:00pm July 29, 30, 31 August 1, 4, 5, 6, 7  (no camp on Monday July 28th and Friday August 8)
  • Elgin iFest Parade and Picture Day - Saturday August 30, 2014 time tba
  • University of Illinois Band Day - Saturday September 6, 2014 time tba

  • Marching Band Competition #1 - Saturday September 13, 2014 time and location tba
  • Football Game #2 - Friday October 3, 2014, time tba
  • Junior ILMEA Auditions (for Freshman and Sophomores) - Saturday October 4, 2014
