• Congratulations to all the band members & parents. The students cannot do this without the dedication of their parents. Nothing was going to stop these kids from winning State. Mr Bone is teaching them motivation & commitment that they will use for the rest of their lives. My proudest moment of being principal of BSHS was talking to the students before Finals & seeing in all of their faces the determination. We are the Best Level 5 Band in the Upperstate. In my heart, we are #1 in the State. In the words of my grandma, “You all showed out!” With the combination of the school, students, & parents, this achievement was possible. Thank you Mrs Donnelly for all your hard work & a special recognition to the Executive Board. Thank you students for providing memories as a principal & for this community.

Remember what it takes to reach for a goal & achieve it. The Band is the most visible part of the school.
• If we want to be the best, we need more people to help, every student enrolled in band class, private lessons, better instruments, & PRACTICE 30 min a day.
• Students, I appreciate your blood, sweat, & tears. I think of you as little brothers & sisters. You’re the best kids in the school. I would also like to recognize & thank Mr Gordon for all his support. He was the only principal at State.

October 15, 2009

Senior Night is Nov 6th. Teresa needs a senior list to send out invitations. Mr Gordan & band directors will be invited. A cake will be ordered from Sams along with snacks. This will be set up in the library.

Ways to improve the Festival of Bands
Have a Rain Plan. Rent a tent for the bands who are waiting to go onto the field. Coming back on Sunday to clean up was better than trying to clean up Saturday night.

Ways-N-Means
Chick-Fil-A nights-- Nov 24th from 5-9 & Dec 22nd 11-2 & 5-8. We cannot solicit but if we know the people coming in the door, ask them to say they are here for the band.

Tentative date for another Fatz breakfast is Nov 14th.
