On Saturday, January 23, 2010 the Harrison band will host members of the Plaza and McGary Middle School bands for a pep band rehearsal and performance. Students from the middle schools will sit in with the band and play along wearing their "Instrumental Music Class of 2014" t-shirts provided by the instrumental music boosters. The boosters will also be providing a pizza dinner for all students between the rehearsal and performance and will be holding an informational parent meeting in conjunction with the event. Report time for high school students has been moved to 5:15 PM with a 5:30 PM rehearsal start. High school students are being asked to bring a 2-liter of beverage or some chips/cookies.

This document provides as much detail as possible regarding the events scheduled to take place during the school year, including rehearsals, performances, some fundraisers, and extra activities. This is an essential document for every instrumental music family to have a copy of. The Calendar Overview always takes precedence over any information shared via the web calendar, email, word of mouth, or other source. It will be the final reference point for decisions regarding notification of required events.
