Concert Date Change – Take 2

The quest to find a concert date continues.....After deciding to move the Concert to Wednesday because of the change in the Primary Date, it has come to our attention that Wednesday is college night at Owens. After discussing this with Mrs. Hoellrich, we have decided to move the concert to Monday, March 5 at 7:00pm. This caused a conflict with the booster meeting, so now the Booster Meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 6 at 7:00pm. We can still get into the band room while the polls are open. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for your understanding.


Solo and Ensemble

Solo and Ensemble AE will be held this Saturday at Bowling Green High School. Students have been told of their performance times and room assignments and a packet with maps and other information will be available this week. Family and friends are welcome to attend, but there should be no recording, audio or visual, in the performance areas.

Solo and Ensemble Adjudicated Event

Please continue to work on your solos and ensembles on your own. If interested in after school help, please see a director. Entries fees for S&E will again be paid by the band boosters. Most solos require a piano accompaniment at AE. Students will be responsible for acquiring their own accompanist. We do have several people who are willing to accompany for $35 which will include two rehearsals and the performance the day of contest.


Jazz Band

Jazz Band rehearsals will be only one day a week (Thursday) until solo and ensemble is over so that we can have some extra after school time to work with students.


BGSU Honors Band

Congratulations to the students who performed in the Bowling Green State University Honors Band this past weekend. The musicians who represented Anthony Wayne were Caitlin Reyes, Thomas Rabuano, Anna Rowe, and Greg Archer.
