Sept 29th Pizza and Pop’s/Oct.2 Senior Night/ Oct. 4th Homestead Invitational To Students and Parents of the BOP This will be a fun filled and busy week for many of our BOP students with our first concert as well as Senior night and the Homestead Invitational. There will be an extended time after rehearsal before departing for Homestead so that we can dress at Northrop. Since we will be arriving dressed for the performance, it will be important for all members to pack their change of clothes and bring it with them so that they can get out of uniform after the show. As always come prepared with your show shirt, black sock, make up and hose for guard, any food or snacks and money for concessions. You are not allowed to leave the school grounds on break so plan to have lunch brought to you if you do not pack one before. Tuesday September 29th is the Pizza and Pops concert. The BOP will perform in uniform along with orchestra, concert band, choirs and other band and choir ensembles from area middle schools. The performance schedule is listed below. Band members should plan to arrive no later than 30 minutes prior to their performance time.

We will have students call when we are leaving the show. (Please pick up students promptly. Thank You) I would like to take a minute to thank EVERYONE that was a part of the Johnny Appleseed Festival & planning! It looks like the department had a fantastic weekend(after a wet and slow start on Saturday). We will have final totals soon, but it was very successful again.
Thank you to everyone that donated items, took time to clean 2800lbs. of chicken, worked the booth, grilled, took the time to set-up and tear down, helped with financial items, or any of the other jobs that helped this weekend!! You are ALL truly incredible and we can’t thank you enough for what you do! Every year that we prepare for Johnny Appleseed I am constantly amazed at the time and effort that people put forth for this department and their kids! The Northrop Music Department has been running the chicken booth at Johnny Appleseed for years and it is wonderful to see how it has evolved over time and continued to make more money while keeping the same basic formula from the 1980’s. I know that Bill Heins and Barry Ashton(the music directors when it started)are so proud that we continue the booth and that it has become such a profitable weekend for the department. Thank you again for ALL that you do for your kids and the Northrop Music Department!! Tom Maupin Music Department Head Here is the information and schedule for the instrumental music portion of the pizza and pops concert on Tuesday September 29th.
