DIRECTOR’S NOTES
There is a lot of important info in this week’s MIMU. Please read it carefully and make sure to mark your calendars as it applies to you and your family.
Sub Wrap Up I am VERY proud of all classes for earning a positive report from the substitute teacher. He was very complimentary and wrote three pages praising each class for their behavior and for getting work done. Thank you–this not only makes it easier for everyone, but it also represents BYEU very well.
Loara Band Review Recap GREAT JOB to Concert Band, Percussion & Colorguard on a fantastic performance at your first competition. We received many positive comments on musicianship and I am very proud of your ability to perform under pressure. An additional thank you to all of our volunteers, as we cannot do these events without your support. THANK YOU!
Our next competition is Saturday, November 2nd in Baldwin Park! Rest up, hydrate, and give it your best next weekend!
