Memorial Day Parade Reminder

The Memorial Day Parade will be held on Monday, May 27th in Pottersville. The band will meet with our instruments and marching band music outside the band room at 9:00AM sharp and travel by bus to The Word of Life Headquarters. Please remember to bring your instruments and parade music home on Friday May 24th as the high school will be closed on Memorial Day and the band room will be locked up for the entire holiday weekend. If you are driving to Pottersville directly, please meet no later than 9:30 in order to prepare for the parade. The parade is schedule to start at 9:45. We will march south on Main street (route 9). We will end up in front of The Firehouse in order to participate in the Memorial Day ceremony. Students can fall out at the conclusion of the ceremony and I am told that refreshments will be provided for the band members at this time. The bus will return to North Warren HS after the ceremony or you can pick up your son or daughter directly from The Firehouse if you would prefer.

Wizard of Oz Opening Night!

North Warren presents The Wizard of Oz! March 22nd and 23rd at 7pm and March 24th at 2pm. Come one and all and follow the yellow brick road to support our cast of characters!

Wizard of Oz

If you are in the cast for the Wizard of Oz, most rehearsals after break will be FULL CAST! That means you need to make an effort to be at every rehearsal ON TIME and be paying attention to everything happens, it could directly affect you and you all need to be ready.

Please be reminded to always bring your scripts (words and music) and a pen/pencil to write down blocking and dance moves. Cassie, Tori, and Carol have worked many hours preparing these dances and it is disrespectful to them by forgetting because you didn’t write it down.

In addition, Kiana will be taking attendance starting on Monday February 25th all the way up to the show. If you are not at rehearsal without an excused absence multiple times you may be removed from the production. We would sincerely hate to do that, so please make the effort to be there!

One last thing, please be healthy! Get a full night’s sleep every night, eat well, and when you have free time take advantage of it! It is important that from here until showtime we are a well oiled machine! Enjoy the rest of break and we’ll see you back in action on Monday!

Edmodo Assignment Due Friday

Don’t forget about Edmodo! There is a new assignment that is due Friday, February 15th! It is due by 11:59pm, Any submissions after that time will be given a zero. There is a time stamp on your submission so I will know.

Hope to read your comments!
