The Winter Concert by the Coleman concert band, jazz band, and rock band is slated for Thursday, Dec. 11 at 6:30 p.m., at the Coleman Gymnasium. Students must be fully dressed in band uniform and in the bandroom by 6 p.m.

Important information from Mr. Dunn:

The concert uniform for this year will be a white long sleeve dress shirt, cummerbund, bow tie, long black dress pants, black socks, and black shoes. You can purchase the cumberbund and bow tie from the band for $10.

You can also at this time purchase a Coleman Band shirt. The cost for the shirt is $10. If you bought a cumberbund and bowtie or a band shirt last year, you do not have to buy a new one this year.

Fall Fundraisers Net More Than $2,500

The Coleman Band fall fundraisers - Honey Baked Ham and BBQ - netted about $2,600.

The effort goes to a great cause: Funds raised will be used to buy a tenor saxophone, a used oboe, mouthpieces for brass instruments, and percussion equipment.

The Honey Baked Ham fundraiser netted approximately $1,500. Michael Lacota was the top-selling student.

The BBQ fundraiser netted approximately $1,100. Morgan Davis was the top-selling student.

Congrats to Michael and Morgan, and thanks to all the students and parents for your participation.
