Roosevelt Wind Ensemble families,

Seattle School District has just declared a two-hour late start, no field trips for Tuesday, February 7th. 

​As much as I'd like to go ahead with our participation in the festival, I cannot go against District policy, nor put families in danger on potentially icy roads during early morning hours. 

Regretfully, we will NOT be participating in the 2017 UW Wind Festival. 

My sincere thanks to all the parents who were prepared to support our participation through chaperoning and equipment transportation. You are the BEST!

I was so excited to present our Wind Ensemble for the first time at the UW Festival! 

Be safe out there, and we'll see all you students for school at 10:45 tomorrow. 

Best regards,

Mr. Brown 

Roosevelt Wind Ensemble families,

Hope you're all doing OK in this Winter Wonderland!

Here's the plan for tomorrow's UW Festival:

1. If school is in session at normal time, I'll open up the band room at 7:15am. to meet parent vehicles for transportation of large equipment. All students should be in the Meany Hall lobby by 7:45.
2. Large winds (tubas, euphoniums, contrabass clarinet) and percussion auxiliary instruments will need to be transported from Roosevelt and back. Students  who play those instruments are needed to load and unload if at all possible. Also, anyone needing personal instruments, mallets, sticks and music can retrieve those items when I open the band room at 7:15. 
3. Students, bring your permission slips signed by your parent/guardian to the festival.
4.  If 'late start' or 'no school' we won't go.
5.  If the festival is cancelled as it was today, I'll get that word out asap; and we won't go. 


To summarize-
We'll go to the festival if school is on normal schedule and the festival is running. 
Arrive at Meany Hall by 7:45am. We warm-up at 8:00am. sharp and perform at 8:20.

Best regards,

Brown
