Announcements
UNM Brass Day Monday, October 26 from 8AM to 5PM. This event is for all high school brass students and is a terrific opportunity to work with the UNM faculty on fundamentals of playing, small ensembles, and all-state material as well. This also gives your child the chance to play with brass players from all over the Albuquerque area. Students will also be fed lunch and be able to participate with the Spirit Marching Band at the end of the day. Students are required to stay through all activities.
An itinerary of events for the day is posted on my office door.
STUDENTS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN TRANSPORTATION DOWN THERE. I have been informed that I must submit a list to the office of students who will be attending. In addition, parents should call as well and excuse their child for that day. They must adhere to all rules set forth by APS while attending the clinic, demonstrate the best behavior at all times, and represent our school well.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Mr. Dubbs

THANKS FROM MR. DUBBS
On behalf of the band staff and myself, I would like to congratulate our students on their performance at the Pageant of Bands. They received 2nd Place in class AAAA and turns out they were 3rd overall!!! This is a terrific accomplishment for our group and our students should be commended for their efforts. It is also the first time in several years that the group has placed in their division and the highest ranking the Manzano Band has received in a while. Thank you as well to all of the parent support we received yesterday. Whether you helped out with water, guiding groups, or just cheering our students on, we truly appreciate your support. Our students know however that we can still improve. This is the final week of competitions for the marching band; not the final activity for the group but the final competition. Please note all of the following important announcements.
Thanks for your continued support!!!
Mr. Dubbs

The band policy for 2-hour delays is as follows:
Zero hour classes will start at 8:30AM -- two hours later than normal. If there are any issues with students/families getting into town from the mountains by 8:30, please contact me immediately via email or phone (559-2247). Of course, please use the best judgment for your situation and be safe. If you can make it, please make it in as close to 8:30AM as possible. Thanks!
