Groves High School Band Program

The Band Boosters would like to welcome you to the Groves High School band program. It’s time to say good-bye to our Seniors and welcome our Freshman and new band families! We are pleased to welcome our new band director, Mr. Jeff Krum! The Marching Band will be over 90 strong this year. Mr. Krum is working on a terrific and exciting half-time show for the GHS Marching Band. (Click here for welcome letter)

Fundraiser Bottle Drive – 2/3 – 2/4/12 students will be leafleting Groves’ neighborhoods to collect pop bottles/cans; 2/11/12 – students go to same neighborhood homes to pick up pop bottles/cans. Student sign ups in the band room! Return bottles to the stores and $ collected is brought to Patty Reynolds’, 31112 W. Chelton, Beverly Hills. Questions? Call 248-376-2475.

Rock-A-Thon – 3/3/12. Student Fundraiser, held at Beverly Hills United Methodist Church (across the street from Groves). Students bring their own rocking chairs and gather pledges for so much $ pledged per hour that they “rock”. Check for sign ups in the band room. Money earned goes into each individual student’s account. Maybe used for trips, lessons, etc.

Banquet – An end of the year banquet is being planned for May 20, 2012. Senior students will be honored at the banquet. Mock awards and special honors will also be given out. We need a few volunteers; please offer your help.

Chicago Trip – The band is going to Chicago May 25-27, 2012. Information was passed out to students. RSVP with $ deposit by Feb. 7, 2012.

Parades – The Groves marching band will be participating in the Birmingham City Parade on Sunday, May 20 and the Beverly Hills Memorial Day Parade on May 28, 2012.

Calling All Band Uniforms!

The Groves Marching and Concert Bands have instituted a new uniform policy this year, requiring all uniforms and tuxes to remain in the school. If your son or daughter is no longer in band, please return their marching and tux uniforms to the Band Room. Please put you name on the uniforms and tuxes. Tuxedo shirts are yours to keep—but we need the rest of the uniform pieces.

MSBOA – The concert bands will be participating at the Michigan Schools Band And Orchestra competition on February 3 and 4, 2012. Good luck to everyone!
