Director’s Report:

2nd Nashville band going well
Jazz bands doing well
Started marching band meetings to plan for next year. Kids don’t want everyone to have to march, they want proficiency, no one interested will be dropped, but may be given other jobs. They are thinking of doing a week in June for tryouts and to finalize numbers for the drill writers.
Contest-Plan to have playoff for spots for district solos and ensembles due to only being allowed 55 spots. Students playing at the precontest event only can fulfill the lettering requirement.
Nashville Trip- Itinerary should be locked in by Monday, Feb 18
Mattress Fundraiser- $500 given for adults attending meeting and $1000 bonus based on sales. Motion was made to use this extra money for food in Nashville by Kelli Hurley and seconded by Trina Westhues. Motion passed
Rooming Assignments for Nashville posted on back of band door.
