South Caldwell Competition Postponed

Dear Students and Parent/Guardians,

Due to the heavy rainfall in the last 48 hours and prospects of more rain, South Caldwell has had to postpone the competition scheduled tomorrow to Saturday October 30. We were already scheduled to go to Fred T. Foard on that day and South Caldwell will coordinate schedules so that we will do two competitions in one day on October 30. A schedule for that event will be posted as soon as I have that information.

Since all students were planning on being at school on Saturday anyways for the competition. We have decided to make use of that time in the following way. We will have rehearsal from 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM, after rehearsal we are going to have a MOVIE NIGHT (movie night attendance is optional) as a social activity for students in the auditorium until 8:00 PM! Please bring $5 for pizza or bring your own dinner! Popcorn and drinks will be provided!

Thanks!

Mr. Brantley

Foothills Invitational is on!

Good Morning NIHS Band Adults and Students!

The 2021 Foothills Invitational is right around the corner on October 2, 2021! We are looking forward to a big and exciting event that day. Here are a few important things that are going to be happening over the next two weeks leading to the event.

  1. If you’ve already signed up to volunteer, that’s great! A representative from the band program will be reaching out to you soon to coordinate your job for the day. If you haven’t signed up yet, someone will be reaching out to you shortly!
  2. Volunteer areas of need! We still need parents for concessions, and people willing to man the grill all day and cook!
  3. We are collecting supplies and materials for the event! We need a lot of things to make this event happen. Please help us out by donating any of the items below for use. Please make sure to label anything with your first and last name, and your students first and last name if you want to make sure you get the item back after the event. We can use any of the items below:
  • Crock Pots
  • Large coolers
  • Tents
  • Open flat bed trailers with ramps
  • Gators and Four Wheelers (preferably with hitches)
  • cases of water and canned soda
  • COFFEE MUGS! We clean these and then sell cidar/hot chocolate out of the mugs that people take home. Go through your cabinets, the weirder they are.. the quicker they go! =)
  • BAKED GOODS! (individually wrapped!) for the bake sale!

Any of the above items may be dropped off in the band room any time during the next two weeks!
