SCHS Band: Your Monday Night Rundown (MNR) - Week of 01/08/2024
Good Evening SCHS Band Members and Families,
We want to start by sending our best wishes for a happy new year. We are currently in the process of finalizing our performance and rehearsal calendar for the spring semester, sending out updated activity statements, and getting everything ready for what looks to be a most challenging and rewarding semester yet.
As we get our items finalized we will send them in separate emails this week. In the meantime we look forward to some great work with the band members and we hope to see you at our next performance.
That's all for now!

SCHS Band: Your Monday Night Rundown (MNR) - Week of 12/11/2023
Good Evening SCHS Band Members and Families,
Here is your Monday Night Rundown (MNR) for the week of December 11, 2023:
This Week's Events on the Band Calendar:
- 12/12 Concert/Symphonic Band Dress ASR for Christmas Concert: 3:45 PM-5:30 PM
- 12/13 Wind Ensemble Dress ASR for Christmas Concert: 3:45 PM-5:30 PM
- 12/14 SCHS Band Christmas Concert: 7:00 PM (Doors to the hall open at 6:45 PM)
Upcoming Events: Band Calendar Month of December:
- 12/20 RCS Two-Hour Day
10th Annual SCHS Band Concert - Thursday, December 14, 2023
The 10th Annual SCHS Band Christmas Concert will take place on Thursday, December 14, 2023, at 7:00 PM. Doors to the theater will open at 6:45 PM. Admission is free and seating is open to all.
SCHS Band Christmas Concert and Dress ASR's
The Dress Rehearsal for the 10th Annual SCHS Band Christmas Concert will take place for the members of the freshmen concert band and symphonic band on Tuesday, December 12, 2023 from 3:45 PM until 5:30 PM. The Dress Rehearsal for the Wind Ensemble will take place on Wednesday, December 13, also from 3:45 PM - 5:30 PM.
For the Dress ASR - This is the term we use to delineate a rehearsal in which we will run the entire program. The students do not have to be dressed in concert attire for the Dress ASR. Every year we have at least one freshmen band member who likes to dress up for the Dress ASR.
Concert Attire
All new band members have received concert attire, or returning members have received replacements, so we ask that parents help by making sure the concert attire is neat and pressed for our concert. New band members wearing the concert gowns (or those who needed a replacement) can be picked up following the Dress ASR on Tuesday, December 12.
Band Class Fees and Statement Updates
We have heard from many parents who have expressed frustration at reading and deciphering the QuickBooks system of invoices, credits, and statements. It has been just as frustrating on our end. We are going back to the previous system that many parents seemed to like better with everything emailed out and in one place using our Microsoft Office Suite software and sending out activity statements through mail merge. We are in the process of exporting everything from QuickBooks and hope to get this resolved soon. We appreciate the flexibility. While the thought of going to a more professional platform seemed like the right decision at the time, it has done nothing but created more headaches. We will go back to what we know works. This will in no way affect the online payment system. Payments can still be taken online through the parent page of the band website (this will still be administered through QuickBooks).

SCHS Band: Your Monday Night Rundown (MNR) - Week of 11/06/2023
Good Evening SCHS Band Members and Families,
Before we begin this evening's MNR, we want to take a moment to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to all of the parents and members of the Stewarts Creek High School Band for the outstanding work displayed this past Saturday at the 42nd Annual Tennessee Division II State Marching Band Championship. The spirit, cooperation, team work, and dedication to putting on an event of this magnitude was once again on display. We continue to receive compliments from the participating band directors and members of their staff on the first-rate and world-class experience that we delivered on Saturday.
To the parents . . . We thank you for believing in us, believing in your children, and supporting this band program. There is nothing quite like this anywhere else. Not a day goes by that we don't count the many blessings for the parent involvement and support. Thank you!
Many of you may be wondering how much we made on the contest. We are currently working on the numbers. After we get everything settled, we will send an update as a separate email to report on the contest financials, as well as updates from the mattress sale fundraiser. We can then turn our attention on the next phase of the Stewarts Creek High School Uniform Capital Campaign.
