Students may begin turning in ticket stubs and money for the band raffle. Students may deposit their sealed envelopes containing stubs and money in the "drop box" in the BRHS Band Room.

The drawings will be help at the BRHS Christmas Concert on December 4 at 7 p.m. in the BRHS Auditorium.

Please do everything you can to sell all your tickets. We need your support for now and the future of our program.

Audition materials have been distributed and are available for All-State auditions for all Benjamin Russell and ACMS band members. Any student needing audition materials simply needs to ask one of the directors for the materials.

Help on the auditions is available two ways.
1. Directors are available after school (by appointment) to work on all audition materials.
2. Podcasts are available at The University of South Alabama's music department website.

If the demand for help gets beyond our means, we will look into hiring some music students from Auburn to assist in teaching lessons. That is a problem we certainly hope to have!

We have very talented students and would love to see BRHS and ACMS earn a bigger piece of the All-State pie. Earning a position in the Alabama All-State band is an excellent credential for resumes as well as a necessity for those students wanting to earn music scholarship in college. All-State band is the key to university level recognition for instrumentalists. It is a great musical experience. Students become much better players simply by working on the audition.

If you have questions, feel free to contact Mr. Bloodworth, Mr. Gresko, or Ms. Parker.

Congratulations to all Class and Special Area winners.

Thanks to all who performed, participated, worked, organized, and cleaned-up after the 2008 Lake Martin Invitational.
