From the ETHS Instrumental Music Boosters to you and yours, we wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

It's time for our December dine-out (kind-of) fundraiser! This month we are giving the kids a much needed break from finals with Boba Bee! Take a short breather, have some stress relief, and give your brain a recharge with a refreshing boba tea, made just the way you like. Come out today and tonight, Wednesday, December 21st, between 1:00 PM and 10:00 PM. Boba Bee is located in Heritage Park Plaza, nearby Ralph's, at 25432 Trabuco Road (please see map below).
Your participation will support the ETHS Instrumental Music and Pageantry Boosters, as 20% of all sales to our supporters will be donated the program. Just be sure to mention the fundraiser, or present the flyer below.

Tonight, immediately following the General Boosters' Meeting, we are having our parents' meeting for both Winter Guard and Winter Percussion programs. Parents of children in both programs will gather together for a general overview and then split into their program groups to discuss specifics to winter guard and specifics to winter percussion. All parents with children in either program are encouraged to attend. We will be meeting in the band room.
See you tonight!

Our monthly General Booster Meeting will be held on Thursday, December 8th, from 6:30 PM. All Booster parents are encouraged to attend (i.e. every parent with a child in the music program). This is the last board meeting of the year. As we are going into the Christmas Holiday, we plan to make this one short, sweet, and festive! We will be discussing current fundraiser and year-end activities. We will be holding an election for the office of Winter Percussion Liason and fielding candidates for the open position of Ways & Means Officer.
We will be meeting in the band room on campus. Coffee, refreshments, and holiday treats will be served.
So please come out, and hope to see you all there!

Please join the Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, Orchestra, Symphony Orchestra, and Jazz Bands for our Holiday Benefit Concerts this week. We have two concert nights this week! On Tuesday, December 7th, the Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble will perform. On Wednesday, December 8th, the Chamber Orchestra and Symphony Orchestra will perform. Both nights will be opened by our Jazz Ensemble. The concerts will be performed in Charger Hall starting from 7 PM.

We will be hosting the RBR End-of-Season Holiday Awards Banquet for RBR students and their families on Wednesday, November 30th, from 6 PM. The banquet will be held at Buffalo Wild Wings in Lake Forest. See the map below for the location.
After everyone eats their dinner, Mr. Miller will be presenting awards to the RBR Marching Band students.
The event will also help raise funds for RBR, as 15% of your bill (excluding alcohol) will be donated by Buffalo Wild Wings back to the program.
Families are welcomed and encouraged. It will be a fantastic way to celebrate another amazing season. Hope to see you all there!

Winter is coming! And with it comes stress from the holiday rush, finals, and college applications. It's enough to get anyone down. But we have just the thing to lift your spirits and prepare you for the holidays: the December IMPB Newsletter! It's hot off the presses, produced by our hard-working President, Music Program Director, and Booster Board members. In it is information about current sales, the December ensemble concerts, Winter Guard and Winter Percussion schedules, the RBR Banquet at Buffalo Wild Wings, the January trip to Disneyland, the Boba Bee drink-out, fundraisers, donations, and the Music Angels and corporate sponsorship programs. It has all the information you need to make the most of this holiday music season. We hope you celebrate it with us!
