I am on the Board of Directors of Theatre of Gadsden and currently working on the production of South Pacific. The theatre recently used Key Club members from Glencoe High School to usher at a production, and we would like to expand that program. I would like to particularly target arts students who might be interested in ushering for us. We normally have 6 performances over two weekends, but they would not need to help with all of them.
If you think some of your students might be interested, please let me know, and ask them to come to our first training meeting on March 25 at 2:00 at The Ritz in Alabama City (310 27th St.). As a side note, we will have a full orchestra for South Pacific conducted by Dr. Jeremy Benson from JSU. Your students might enjoy hearing their performance. The dates are March 31, April 1, 2, and April 7-9. Go to theatreofgadsden.org for more information. Thank you, Paula Paula J. Ross, PhD. ESL/International Education Consultant Congratulations to The PRIDE’s 2017 – 2018 Drum Major Finalists Meredith Cook & Hannah Lowery!
We are very proud of all of our candidates. Go PRIDE GO! Hello Parents! There is a fantastic young foreign exchange student who plays trumpet, and really wants the opportunity to come be a part of our band program. He is in need of a good home. Won't you considered sponsoring this young man? For more information, contact Stephanie Brown, [email protected] Hey! If any family decides to host, the band will receive a $200.00 grant. ![]()

Dear Parents & Students,
As you know, we are currently preparing for State Music Performance Assessment. We are to the point now in our calendar when we begin to hold after school rehearsals with both ensembles and their percussion. These specific dates can be found on our blog at: http://www.shs-band.com/blog/state-mpa-rehearsal-schedule-2017
*We have several students who are involved in other school activities & we love that! We encourage our students to participate in everything our school has to offer. This can however cause stress sometimes when conflicts arise. Don’t worry though! We have a wonderful working relationship with our athletic coaches. We are all here for the kids!
Our policy for conflicts is this:
- Please notify the band office & your coach about any conflicts
- We ask that members with other commitments SPLIT TIME between band & their other activities
- A game/match or concert should always trump a practice or rehearsal.
- If in doubt, email us. We’ll talk to the coach/instructor and find a solution
- DON’T STRESS……Communicate
