For those of you planning on auditioning for Regionals this year, note that ASU has put together a great website that includes recordings of all of the Regional audition etudes, available here.

The initial order for the CdS Band Hoodies has been placed. Thank you all who were able to place orders. All orders up through Oct 3 have been included (there were a couple of last minute submissions). The order form will remain active and additional orders will be placed as sufficient quantities are requested (usually ~10). We'll keep you informed as to the status of any orders you've placed. The hoodies will be distibuted and payment will be collected ($38/ea) at the next Band Booster meeting on Oct. 18th. If you have students who ordered and you can't make the meeting, we'll also be at the Oct. 17th Monday night rehearsal distributing to the students (and parents). Please send a check to rehearsal with your band member (payable to "CdS Band Boosters"). If you have any questions, please contact Dave at smithdavide@cox.net

If you have not received an e-mail from the Band Boosters recently, you are probably not in our e-mail database. If this is the case, please send an email to cdsbandboosters@gmail.com and include your student's name, your student's e-mail address, a preferred parent/guardian name, and a parent e-mail address.
