Orange Leaf Flyer

If you can attend Orange Leaf night next Monday 11/4 please bring this FLYER in for our orchestra to receive a portion of your purchase!

Quote of the Week

Dear Great Pumpkin, I am looking forward to your arrival on Halloween night. I hope you will bring me lots of presents. You must get discouraged because more people believe in Santa Claus than in you. Well, let's face it; Santa Claus has had more publicity, but being #2, perhaps you try harder. Everyone tells me you are a fake, but I believe in you. Love, Linus
P.S.: If you really are a fake, don't tell me. I don't wanna know.
(from "It's a Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown")

Orange Leaf Night

We will be having an Orange Leaf Fundraiser Night for EJHS Orchestras on Monday November 4th; please save the date and come out between 5-9 p.m.  There will be live music and delicious treats.  If you bring a flyer they will donate a portion of your purchase back to the EJHS Orchestra Program.
Check out their delicious menu on the Orange Leaf Website.  They are located behind Krispy Kreme.

Practice Cards

Just a friendly reminder that practice cards are due EVERY Monday.  Some students still are struggling to turn in their work.  Please help remind each other of this due date.  It is also posted to student Edmodo pages each week.

Spaghetti Supper Tickets

EJHS 7th/8th grade orchestras will be performing at NCHS on Monday 11/11/2013 for the Spaghetti Supper.  They will combine for the performance at 5:30 p.m. in the auditorium.  Students will need to arrive in concert dress (EJHS Polo/Black Pants) by 4:50 p.m.
Since the 7th/8th graders do not rehearse together during the school day I am asking students to attend AT LEAST one of two scheduled combined rehearsals; either Friday 11/1 or Wednesday 11/6 from 305-345 p.m. in the Evans Orchestra room.  If students attend both they will receive extra credit.
Ticket Order forms will be coming home with students today; they are due by Thursday October 31st.  Click HERE for an additional ticket order form.

Hauntcert Tomorrow! 10/24

Please consider attending the Hauntcert tomorrow, Thursday October 24th at 7 p.m. at either NCHS OR WEST.  Both locations will be presenting a family friendly Halloween themed concert; children are encouraged to wear costumes to register for prizes.  EJHS Orchestra students who attend and bring back a program will receive extra credit!

We will have IMEA rehearsal tomorrow 10/3 and next Thursday 10/10 from 305-345 p.m. in the orchestra room.  Please make sure you have arranged for rides to/from IMEA auditions on Monday 10/14.  They will be at Bloomington High School.  I will be sending home more information with the students later this week.
