2015-16 Wind and Leadership Auditions (Current Seniors-Disregard)
Hi all,
It’s time! The 2015 Audition page is up and running! Visit www.bjhsband.com/auditions for all necessary information. The password for anything requiring one is: candide
Important info:
– You MUST complete the online registration and print/complete the band contract (4 pages) and audition sheet (1) to be eligible to audition. Please bring the aforementioned paperwork with you when you audition. You will NOT be allowed to audition otherwise.
– Make sure to sign up for an audition time that works in your schedule.
– Freshman (and upperclassmen needing a new jersey): Please bring a $45 check with you to auditions to officially place your jersey order. We have to order these in May so they get done in time for marching season. You will not receive a jersey and thus be eligible to march if you do not bring this payment. Checks payable to “Bob Jones High School.”
– Upperclassmen: You will NOT be allowed to audition if you have an outstanding balance on your account currently. Please check Charms and/or consult with Kathy Gereski (dgereski@knology.net) to see if you owe any money from this fall or spring.
– Leadership/Drum Major candidates: See the separate page for leadership audition information. Please bring the appropriate paperwork with you when you audition April 16 after school.
**Percussion: Your audition page is up and running as well. The music will be available sometime next week. You will be notified via email when it is. The same process applies, however. Complete your registration and paperwork, freshman bring $45 for jerseys, and upperclassmen pay any outstanding fees to be eligible for auditions. These will be due the first day of the clinic, Wednesday April 29 after school.

Band News
Dear Parents and Students,
Again, if you are interested in chairing or co chairing a committee, please let me know. And we still need someone to manage the website!
Next week, you should be on the look out for information about auditions for next year. We are coming into the 21st century! Janine will have it set up for us to register online.
After much careful consideration, the booster board has found it necessary to change our booster fee for the fall semester to $350.00 per student. Everyone will pay this amount. In order to receive the $100 volunteer discount you must work in the concession stand two shifts per student. $50 will be credited to your student account upon completion of each shift.
The increase in fee will cover all expenses except jerseys, compression gear, instrument rental fee, and supplies purchased from Madison Band Supply.
The Color Guard and Dance Team will pay $300. The volunteer credit will work the same.
Hope to see you next week!
Cindy Leaphart
