New rule for rehearsal. Please leave your cell phone in your case. You may not have it on you during rehearsal. We have had some problems with texting during rehearsal. You may bring your case out to the field with you, but leave it in your case.

Thank you.
Seniors.... Thank you for a great four years and a very memorable morning. I especially enjoyed the switching of the valves (however you probably should have stuck to school owned horns only). I do hope that you all will visit often. See you on Tuesday evening!!!! And congratulations and good luck to all!

Help us raise money for:

The Jacob Kellogg Commission Project!

We would like to honor the memory of Jacob Kellogg by commissioning a major work for concert band by a major composer. Our new goal is $7,000. We are proud to say that we have already raised approximately $6,210 in an effort to honor Jacob's life. Our composer of choice is Dr. Andrew Boysen, Jr. They are both very dynamic composers and many directors use their music in their classrooms multiple times per year.

If you wish to help us in our efforts, you can mail a check to:

Belleville East High School
Attn. Mark Tessereau
2555 West Blvd.
Belleville, IL 62221

Please make your checks out to BEBOP. The Belleville East Band and Orchestra Parents along with the band directors are handling the organization of this project.
