The theme for next year’s marching band show will be Music of The Beatles! Please keep an eye out for music and information in the mail before the end of the school year.

Field Trip Opportunity

In the morning on Thursday, April 15th, students may travel with Mr. Rhoades to take a tour of the Schilke Brass Factory in Melrose Park. There we will learn how brass instruments and mouthpieces are made, and students may have an opportunity to try them out afterwards. When we’re done touring, we’ll stop somewhere for lunch. Students will return before 4th hour begins; they will be expected to return immediately (and quietly) to class when we get back. Transportation will be the EPHS Activity Bus, so participation will be limited to 14 students (brass players will take priority). This field trip is at no cost to you (except for lunch)! Permission slips will be handed out today during Band.

Disney Payments

Final payments are due Monday, 3/15. Contact Mr. Rhoades if you need to know the amount of your last payment.

Candy Sales

Candy Sales will end this week. Please see Rhoades for any last minute purchases!

Private Lessons

If you are interested in taking private lessons, please contact Mr. Rhoades. Students will be given an informational sheet today during 3rd hour.
