FROM THE DESK OF MS. HAUGEN
Welcome back to the last 12 weeks of classes for the 2020-2021 year! I don’t know about you, but this year has brought so many challenges and surprises, blessing and struggles, but I am looking forward to closing out the year and starting to get ready for next year!
We are so happy to unveil our Trojan Band Website where you can find all the information needed for current and future students. Check it out! https://lincolntrojanband.com
A big thank you to Karen Burns and Michael Winn for their help putting this together!
We have many exciting things coming up in the Trojan Band Program. Please see details below:
*Johnson Meat Fundraiser forms and payments are due on Wednesday, March 24th
*Solo and Ensemble is just about 1 month out for students who did not participate in February. Please see information below.
*Rehearsals resume this week!!
*Don’t forget to look ahead at upcoming dates like All-District, Spring Concert, Banquet, Leadership, etc.
Solo and Ensemble Update
All students who did not perform in the February Solo and Ensemble event are registered for the April 23rd-24th event. If your student plays a woodwind or brass instrument and is performing a solo, they will need to contact an accompanist to record with. If you need any more information, please see attachment for accompanist details.
Johnson Meat Fundraiser
Attached is the Johnston’s Meats fundraiser order form. These smoked meats are very popular and great for family gatherings. We have timed delivery for the week before Easter! Order forms and payment are due on Wednesday, March 24, and item pickup will be Wednesday, March 31 at LHS.
- All payments should be checks made payable to Lincoln High School. If possible, please have your customers pay you and submit your form with one check. Always include a phone number and student name on your check.
- Order forms and payment can be dropped in the black box outside Ms. Haugen’s office or mailed to Lincoln Trojan Band, PO Box 16163, Tallahassee, FL 32317.
- Cost for each item is $30, and $10 will go to your individual student account.
- All items must be picked up on March 31 by the student or parent. We don’t have a way to store them after the pickup date.
If you have questions about any fundraiser, please contact Natalie Zierden at Natalie.Betz-Zierden@kimley-horn.com.Composite Photos
There will be a photographer to be at school on Tuesday, March 30 to take photos of all the band students. It is a gold day, so Concert Brass & Winds and Jazz Band will have their photos during class. Symphonic Band, Percussion and Digital Academy students will need to come during either lunch A or B or after school for their photos. An order form will be sent out before picture day. Students will be wearing a marching band jacket and will use their instrument/sticks/flag for pictures. There will be a separate email sent out this week with specifics.
