1. TRIP MEETING REMINDER:  a reminder that our trip meeting is next Tuesday, February 16, at 7 pm in the AHS Auditorium.  ALL students going on the trip must attend, with a parent.  We look forward to seeing you there!

2. PASSOFF UPDATE:  a reminder to students that all Passoffs must be complete by the end of the six weeks, which is Friday, February 19.  Since the directors will be out the rest of this week, we are removing Passoff 4.4.  Students are responsible for Passoffs 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3.

In addition to continuing Passoffs during class and Plus Periods next week, the directors will also be available after school on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday of next week.  Don’t wait until the last minute!!!

3. PRACTICE THIS WEEK:  as was discussed with students over the past two days, this week is a critical time for individual practice.  We appreciate any help parents can give encouraging students to choose to practice over the next week so that all groups are prepared for our upcoming Pre-UIL and UIL performances.  The current practice journal is due next week.  Take advantage of your extra credit opportunity!

4. PRE-UIL & UIL:  students have received detailed information about Pre-UIL, and should be making arrangements for their group’s call times.  A reminder that Symphony Pre-UIL is next week, on Thursday, February 18.  See the details given to students (also posted on Charms) for exact information.  We have just received times for UIL, and will be sending home details next week.

5. ELIGIBILITY REMINDER:  a reminder that students MUST be academically eligible (passing all of their classes) at the end of the current six weeks to participate in both UIL and the trip.  The six weeks ends a week from Friday, February 19.

Please let us know if you have any questions.  The directors will be out of the office for the remainder of this week, and will respond upon our return next week.  Thank you for your continued support of the AHS Orchestra!!!
