Karen Cannata has graciously volunteered to organize the car pools for this event. We will be leaving from DHS and traveling to Delta College in Stockton. I don't know times yet, but it will be an all day event. There are 22 Jazz Band students plus their instruments and currently there is only one family that has turned in their driver forms for the school. I am guilty of not turning in that form myself. A situation that I will correct shortly. Attached is the form and instructions that needs to be returned along with a copy of your driver's license and a copy of your proof of insurance card or the declarations page from your auto insurance policy. Please return these forms this coming week to Mr. Slabaugh. Karen will be sending out a sign up genious for organizing the trip. Please feel free to direct questions regarding the car pooling to her at cannata1 at comcast.net or phone her at 530 848-0737. Thank you all for your help with this.

The total cost for this 6 day trip is only $725 per student plus some extra spending money for certain meals and souveniers. We have broken down installments into two, $250 contributions and a final $225 payment. If you did not pay the first installment, please if at all possible, submit $500 by November 15th. There are about a dozen families who have yet to submit an ititial contribution toward the trip but are indicating that their student is planning to attend. Students can bring checks made out to DSHS Band Boosters to Mr. Slabaugh at school or send in the mail to: DHS Band Boosters Victoria Trip Reservations PO Box 73522 Davis, CA 95617 As we begin booking hotel rooms, flights, buses, ferries, and planning field trips, it is very helpful to have money coming in to help offset these expenses. Please send any questions to Connie Belk at: conniebelkrd at gmail.com Thank you!

It promises to be a very good performance. As you probably all know there is always a bake sale in the lobby at concerts where the Bands sell refreshments. Patty Spring and Nora Du have graciously volunteered to run the bake sale table on Tuesday. Patty has sent a Sign-Up-Genius to the 50 people who have volunteered to help with concerts. She has requested various donations to the bake sale table. Patty & Nora still need: 3 dozen chocolate chip cookies 3 dozen oatmeal cookies 5 dozen of any type of treats 1 12 pack of water bottles If you are one of the 50 people who has volunteered to help with concerts and hasn't yet responded to the Sign-Up-Genius please take a moment right now to look at the Sign-Up-Genius that went to you and let Patty know what you will be bringing to help out. Thank you for your help! The Concert will be fabulous! Robert -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is a reminder that the Jazz Band and Jazz Combos will be playing at the Delta Jazz Festival at Delta College in Stockton this coming Saturday, December 3 rd. This is an all-day event. As soon as we have specific times from Mr. Slabaugh we will pass them along. For now just know that we will leave early and return late. We still need one or two more drivers for this festival. Please respond to the sign-up-genius that Karen Cannata has sent out. It would be horrible to have to leave some students at home due to lack of drivers.

The recording of the concert is now uploaded to the DHS Bands Youtube Channel. The channel can be found at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGqk-ZSxQBEnObsW8ovNwKQ. The Symphonic Band concert was *very* good and is well worth watching. If you don?t have time to watch the whole concert everyone should at least see Wu Xing, Concertino for Two Percussion and Band. The piece is not only well performed and interesting but the two soloists (is that an oxymoron?) were fantastic! Please feel free to forward this link to family and friends as well as your students. The cost of production of this video was paid for by the Concert Admission Donations. The cost is not insubstantial. The Concert Admission Donations barely covered this expense. Thank you to all who donated and helped cover this cost. The videos are important not just from a sentimental standpoint. They are required to allow the bands to play in various festivals and at venues where we play on the major trips we take each year. We are now posting all new videos to the DHS Bands Youtube Channel rather than selling DVD?s so that everyone can enjoy them. Please feel free to subscribe to the channel in order to get notifications when new videos are posted. The Winter Rhapsody Concert featuring the DHS Concert and Symphonic Bands is Thursday, Dec. 8th and the Winter Jazz Extravaganza featuring the Jr. High Jazz Bands, DHS Jazz Band & Combos, and the DHS Jazz Choir is Wednesday, Dec. 14th. These concerts are shaping up to be as good as the first Symphonic Band concert of the year. These concerts will be recorded as well and posted to our Youtube channel. Thank you all for supporting the Bands and your students! Sincerely, Robert Sprague -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As you probably know the Jazz Band and one Combo will be performing at the Delta Jazz Festival this Saturday, Dec. 3rd. The festival is held at the Delta Center for the Arts at Delta College in Stockton. Here is the Google Map link https://goo.gl/maps/ucscGPKbsSs. Please share this link with your students as well. Mr. Slabaugh sent an information package earlier that I have attached to this e-mail. Some distilled information is: ? Everyone is to arrive at the DHS Band Room at 8:00am on Saturday ? We will leave by 8:30am on Saturday and drive to the Atherton Auditorium https://goo.gl/maps/ucscGPKbsSs ? Students need to dress in black shoes, black socks, black slacks, the blue Jazz Band Shirt, and the Jazz Band Tie ? Students will be given wrist bands for admission to the festival ? Accompanying adults will need to pay $10 for the wrist band ? Students should either bring a lunch or money for lunch. There is a Subway, Chipotle, and Ono Hawaiian BBQ across the street. ? Students are responsible for their music, instruments, mutes, chords, etc. Please have your student carefully read the information from Mr. Slabaugh regarding what is required for the rhythm section. ? After the Jazz Band performance we will be returning to try and get kids back in time for Wi Ball. This festival was a great learning experience and a lot of fun last year and should be this year as well.
