New Rochelle HS Band Room this week

Through the help of Steven Foti (NRMS band director), Scott Byers (NRHS band director), and Matt Lucero (NR Director of PreK-12 Performing and Visual Arts), it looks 99.9% sure that we will be able to use the New Rochelle HS Band Room on Monday. The minor margin of error is due to the fact that I haven’t received the official calendar software notification (possibly due to the fact that the district was closed last week on Thursday and Friday), but I am hopeful that this will be confirmed Monday morning.

Please recheck your email on Monday afternoon for the final confirmation of the use of the NRHS band room.

Directions to the New Rochelle HS Band Room — DO NOT use GPS to drive to the high school address!!! You will end up at the opposite end of campus, and you won’t be able to walk through the building to get to the band room! Follow this link for directions from all points.

Please bring a folding music stand – We think there will be enough stands in the band room, but to be sure please bring a folding music stand as a backup, just in case. We can reassess this need after Monday’s rehearsal.

The rehearsal plan is posted. Remember to recheck your email on Monday to confirm the rehearsal site at New Rochelle.

Program ads – Deadline is October 28

All subscribed ads run in all three TMH season programs. We depend on member submissions to help us fill the program book.

All the prices are the same as last year. We welcome and encourage section ads, which have really added a great personal dimension to the programs for the last several years.

Please give all ad materials to Tom Sweezey (principal alto sax), at any rehearsal through and including October 28. He will be looking for you to hand him:

  • Completed ad form (download a copy here). This form is CRITICAL so I know how to set up your ad!
  • Location of graphic copy (disc, Dropbox, Google Drive, or email). If emailing, send it to westsymwinds@gmail.com, and use the subject line Ad Submission
  • Payment (checks payable to WSW)

Please give everything to Tom. He’s helping me to organize it all before handing it off to me.

Membership dues

If you have not already, please see Marge to pay your 2024-2025 member dues. Thank you!
