Funari high school to visit shs

Funari High school is coming back to Seminole in late March. We will need 20 host families for a night or two. To quote Kathy Galvin, "Of all the things I have done with the band, this experience was one of THE GREATEST! You will be so happy if you host a couple of these students."

Talk to Mr. Malcolm if you're even a little bit interested.

Mr. Malcolm, during the Savannah Trip meeting, stated that this very well could be the last time we get to host these fantastic kids. The Funari Director will be retiring. Don't miss out on this opportunity. Please check the website often for updates.

Savannah/Atlanta Band Trip

Our band has been invited to march in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Savannah, GA this coming March 17, 2012. We will depart on the morning of Friday, March 16th. There will be no school due to a Teacher Work Day. After marching in the parade on Saturday morning, we will load the buses and head to Atlanta for sight-seeing and a day at Six Flags. We will return to SHS on Monday, March 19th, which is the first official day of Spring Break.

GLAMOUR SHOTS

So what is a Glamour Shot? It's a portrait of your student (in uniform and with their instrument), superimposed in front of the whole band. Glamour Shots is a fundraiser for the BPA, but more than that, these portraits are treasures for students, parents, grandparents and others. They are reasonably priced and professionally printed.

For additional details on this fundraiser, please visit our Fundraisers page.
