Re: 2012 Spring – OWS 2
January 29
through February 29
Good Morning Band Scholars and Band
Friends: I hope this finds you well. There follows OWS 2 – which shall
guide and direct our efforts for the next several weeks. This OWS is almost
entirely pertinent schedule information. I have left posted on the Band Web –
OWS 1 [which contained mostly operational information] for you to refer to as
necessary. As always, please peruse carefully and digest fully the veritable
plethora of information contained in OWS 2.
Some Quick Reminders …
FAFSA Forms … ensure you and your
parents have completed as quickly as possible. Due dates must be heeded [and if
possible please complete ahead of time]. Estimators can be used. If you have
any questions – please contact Dr. Lohman, or your academic advisor or me or
someone.
Academics … ensure you are
establishing appropriate and responsible patterns of behavior regarding your
course work now. In many ways, if you start the semester strong – you’ll
position yourself positively to have a great semester. Academics must come
first.
2012 Kibbie … for those of you
selected to participate in Kibbie – please know that by about Tuesday, I will
generate and send to you a packet of information [schedule, needs, basic plan,
et al] that should answer any question you might have about this great
experience.
KUG II … all information pertinent
to KUG II will be found in the Weekly Schedule portion of this OWS. What we ask
each of you is to take responsibility [sell] for the five tickets we gave to
you. The success of the KUG benefits the greater good. KUG II Basics … Guest
Speakers – Coach McCloskey, Coach Cronin & Dr. Allen; Special Music Offerings – Lauren [Flute] and Connor
