February Notes ... We love to stay busy!

Our booster meetings this month are Wednesday, the 4th and the 18th beginning at 6 pm at Rodrigo’s Camal on Micron Ave. The first meeting is the general meeting; the second pertains to TOC planning.

The February Disney payment of $57.00 is due the 6th bringing the total paid to $285.00. The Disney 3-day passport for our group and guests is $170.00 this year, $4.00 more than first stated. The new total for the trip is $403.00. Attached is your child’s current account. Your child’s paid to date must total at least $200.00 by February 13th. The large Disney bill is due the beginning of next month and the hotel bill before spring break. Money must be in the account to pay the bills. Please send any family passport requests to Mrs. Wilmer by the 13th.

Openings are still available for people 18 and over to raise trip money. Work Mandarins' Bingo Hall on Tech Center Drive. Times are available on several different days. Contact Vera Holland at: hollandhealing@yahoo.com or 916-470-8731.

We are hosting our district’s Middle and High School All-City Honor Bands and MS Honor Orchestra. There is an all-day rehearsal here Friday, Feb. 6th. The “dress” rehearsal is Tuesday, Feb. 10th from 7 – 9pm and the free concert is Wednesday, Feb. 11th starting at 7:30 pm in the large theater. The concert looks to be a lively affair. Music students can receive extra credit for attending. RHS performers already receive the extra credit.

Our winter guard & percussion are working hard to prepare for their first competition. It is at American Canyon HS in Napa on Saturday, Feb. 21st. Since we lose two Mondays in a row, we are looking to add extra rehearsal time. The 2/13 practice will start at 4 pm (bring food for dinner), and there will be a practice Saturday, 2/14 (‘cuz we love you) from 8:30 am to 2 pm. Because it is short notice, please inform Mrs. Wilmer of prior commitments.

Thank you for your continued support!!

Mrs. Wilmer
