Chaperone list for Universal trip

From Mr. Dunn:

The following is the list of Chaperones for the Universal trip. We had over 40 parents ask to chaperone and Universal is giving us only 18 tickets. We changed bus companies and saved some money, so the band is buying an additional 10 tickets due to the parent support to bring us to 28 spots.

I drew the names of the parents randomly from a bowl to make it fair. There is also a list of alternates that was also drawn in case any parents cannot make it. Thanks for your support
Thanks,
Chris

Congrats to Coleman bands: Superior ratings at MPA

Below is a note from Mr. Dunn concerning the Coleman Band's great performances at the Florida Bandmaster Association MPA - Music Performance Assessments -- at Leto High School. Each group performed three prepared pieces and did sight-reading of two pieces.

From Mr. Dunn:

"This past week was an historic week for the Coleman band. 2nd and 3rd period band both received a superior rating, which is the highest rating you can receive!!!!! We were also the only band on this side of the county where both bands received a superior.

Your students have worked really hard and I am very proud to be apart of their band. It is amazing to see the growth in maturity and musicianship from your students over the past year. They were one of the best behaved and focused bands at the event.

Thank you to all of the parents for supporting them in their music. Your students really appreciate it!!!!

Remember students your teacher and permission slips for the Universal trip are due Monday, April 13.

Have a happy and safe spring break!!!!

Thanks,
Chris Dunn
