Auditions!

Auditions for the 2009-2010 Ellis Emeralds will be held in the Fall, just after school starts.

There have been many questions about this, which is great. The reason they will not be until the fall is that auditions are open to band members that are in the 7th and 8th grade. Since we do not know who the 7th grade band members are yet, we cannot audition.

Handouts and information will be given out at the start of school. In the meantime, talk to any friends that you may have interested and let them know that we would love to have them.

Pictures

The Group photos that were taken by Bateman Photography are now online for viewing. You can go to http://www.photoreflect.com/ or click here. Be sure to click the next arrow so that you can view both photos of the group. You can also view all of the other groups that performed over the weekend.

There are several purchasing options. I suggest the digital file. They email you this and you have it on your computer. It is just under $5.00.

Enjoy!
