Spring Concert –  Thursday at 7pm in the High School Gym. All students should arrive by 6:30. Please remember this concert is where we recognize our senior musicians and it has a tendency to run a little long (bring seat cushions).

Our Band Parent Treasurer, Robin Jung, will be in the lobby before the concert to accept credit card payments for band camp. Please remember that this form of payment does have an additional $10 cost, and still requires the attached form.

Reminder: The next GLBPA General meeting is scheduled for this Thursday, May 9th at 7:00PM in the High School Band room. As always, interested Band Parents are encouraged to attend.

Hello everyone!

Just a quick reminder that our Spring Band Concert is Thursday, May 23rd at 7 pm in the GLMS Gym. Call time is 6:30 pm and students are to wear their band uniform, which is all black pants, all black shoes, black socks, and their black band polo.

7th grade students will be back in time for our concert from their field trip, but be prepared as it could be a quick turn around for them. (I’m sorry that their field trip got scheduled on top of the band concert. I had no control over that.)

They are working incredibly hard and are looking forward to performing for you!

See you on May 23rd!
Ms. Cha

Mrs. Draeger (gspies@yahoo.com) is looking for volunteers to help get High School Marching uniforms ready for Memorial Day!

• Wednesday, May 8 and Friday, May 10, Block 3 and Block 4

 Let’s begin at 9:45 on Wednesday, in case we need to clear out the Uniform Room. Just checking the uniforms of everyone planning to march in the parade:

* Can they zip up their jacket?
* Can we glimpse inappropriate ankle skin?

• We also need volunteers to re-hem or repair at home

Please let me know if you can do this, and we can make arrangements for pick-up or drop-off 

Marching in the Memorial Day Parade is a wonderful service for our community, and is always greatly appreciated!

Because of the weather cancellation of the April GLBPA meeting (which will not be rescheduled), the Executive Board has decided to extend the period for nominations for Vice-President and Treasurer for the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 school years. If you would like to nominate someone for either position, please send an email to eric.r.reid@gmail.com before May 1st.

The GLBPA exists and thrives only through the continued support of its Band Parents! We encourage everyone to get involved!

The GLBPA is holding a Budget Committee meeting at 7:00PM on Monday, April 29th, in the High School Band Room. We will be discussing the 2013-2014 GLBPA Budget, and the public is welcome to attend.
