2010 AD CAMPAIGN IS NOW CLOSING
Today is the final day for our 2010 Advertising Campaign. Each family is responsible for gathering all ad components in the blue folder you were given at the Family Meeting and returning the folder to Lucy Albrecht at 565 Audubon Ave 15228.
Ad components consist of:
Ad copies
Selection forms
Checks made payable to Friends of Mt. Lebanon Percussion
If, for some reason, you are still collecting the ad components and will not be able to turn everything in today, at a minimum, PLEASE call Lucy THIS EVENING (at 412-344-6858) and let her know what ads you are expecting, how much each ad was sold for and when you expect to turn in the ad components. This will allow Lucy to plan the ad set-up and to sleep a whole lot better.
Each family is requested to secure $350.00 in ad sales to help defray the $1186.25 that Friends of Mt. Lebanon Percussion spends on each high school student to provide them with an outstanding percussion performanmce and educational experience.
If you have any questions regarding the ad copies, selection forms, or any other part of the Ad Campaign, please contact Lucy Albrecht (412-344-6858) or Anne Lutz Zacharias (412-344-4552).
Thank you!
Mr. Minnotte

CONCERTO FOR MARIMBA MAKE-UP REHEARSAL IS SCHEDULED
Due to the French Class trip to France (we will lose our rehearsal on March 24th), and Spring Break (we will lose our rehearsal on March 31st), we must add a make-up rehearsal. This make-up rehearsal for Concerto for Marimba will be Saturday, March 20th, from 2:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Unfortunately, this is also the same day as the African Dance Clinic (for members of the African Ensemble only) and the Band Spaghetti Dinner. However, it was the only day that all of the players on Concerto for Marimba could agree on as a make-up date.

COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS CREDITED FOR HOLIDAY PERCUSSION ENSEMBLE
The School District has been provided a list of percussion ensemble students who have earned "Out-of-School Community Service Hours" for their participation in the 2009 Holiday, Bells, Mallets & Drums Concert Series.
Hours earned are:
3 hours for Friendship Village
3 hours for Mt. Lebanon Christian Church
8 hours for the members of the Keyboard Ensemble that performed for the KDKA Free Care Telethon
These hours were turned in directly to the Community Service Office (Mrs. Kolko) and will be recorded by that office in the individual student's folder. There is nothing else that a student, or parent/guardian, needs to do.
Again, these are counted as "Out-of-School Community Service Hours."
Please direct any questions to Mr. Minnotte.

THE LOST AND LES MIS MAKE-UP REHEARSALS
Due to the cancellation of two Monday evening rehearsals, it has become necessary to add two make-up rehearsals for students that play on The Lost and on Les Mis.
These rehearsals are:
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3RD & WEDNESDAY MARCH 10TH.
Times for both evenings are:
The Lost: 6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
Les Mis: 7:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
It is imperative that all players on both songs adjust their schedules to be able to attend both of these make-up rehearsals. It is especially critical for The Lost which will be performed at the opening concert of the National Conference on Percussion Pedagogy. This will be a "national stage" performance in front of the Directors of Percussion of the major colleges and universities of the nation. It can be nothing less than a spectacular performance. To make that happen, we need to rehearse.
So, please adjust your schedules to attend these two make-up sessions.
Thank you!
Mr. Minnotte
