Just a Little (Pepsi) Refresher !

So, we've been pretty busy the past couple of months, huh? For some of us, (myself included) saying goodbye to the marching season was one of the saddest things we've ever had to do. Band means so much to all of us... and I'll be the first to tell you that you don't realize how much it means until it's gone. I love you guys! But, to recap, here's a quick photo montage of all we've accomplished in the month of November alone:

A Full Retreat (and spectacular performance) at Wake Forest University













McDonald's Day! Playing for the Grand Opening of a local McDonald's.












A Final Marching Performance at USSBA's National Championship in Annapolis, Maryland

















A Joint Concert with the wonderful UNC-Charlotte Wind Ensemble!








A Joint Jazz Band Concert with the A.L. Stanback Middle School Jazz Bands






...We have SO MUCH to be proud of, guys! This band program has grown so much in this season alone, and I am so honored to be a part of it! We have put forth so much work and effort nonstop from July to December, and it has paid off tremendously. That being said... IT'S TIME TO PAR-TAY!

That's Right! The Woodwinds will be having their annual End-of-Season Christmas Party THIS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9TH!
Who: All marching piccolos, flutes, clarinets, and saxes
What: A Christmas Party! (complete with a white elephant gift exchange, tacky christmas sweaters, and roasting marshmallows on an open fire with jack frost nipping at your nose!)
When: Friday, December 9th from 6-9 pm
Where: Sarah's House! (see me for directions!)
Why: Because we have SO MUCH CELEBRATING to do! :D

Until then though, let's not forget the things coming up in December!

-DEC 3: Apex Christmas Parade (awesome job on this guys! It was WONDERFUL! and probably one of the most enjoyable parades I have ever experienced.)
-DEC 10: Cary Christmas Parade!!
