WELCOME TO THE NEW WHSIMD WEBSITE!
2011 UK/Scotland Trip has been cancelled:
We have decided to cancel the UK/Scotland band trip. We are however, currently discussing several travel options, including spring 2011 domestic destinations or a possible London trip in spring of 2012. However, no concrete plans are in place at this time. We will keep you up-to-date and will provide you with new information as it becomes available in the fall.
Audition Results
Chair Placement audition music has been posted to the Forms and Documents section under Audition Music. Email Mr. Gangemi with any questions. You will not need to know scales for this audition in September.
Failure to be prepared for this audition may result in your being moved down an ensemble.
Nobody will be moved up due to an exceptional audition, as that is what the May auditions were for. In extreme circumstances, we will consider moving students up (or down) at the end of the first semester.
If your name is not on an ORCHESTRA roster, you will be placed in String Orchestra.
LAB JAZZ ENSEMBLE audition music will be posted in July. Auditions will be in early September. We will start rehearsing every Monday starting in October (possibly earlier) from 3:00-4:30, and we will adopt our regular M-W-Th schedule when marching season is over.

Each kit has provisions to sustain one person for 3 days. They are perfect for your car, home or office. Kits sell for $20 each and $10 of this sale goes right back to your Student's ISA. This means that for every 10 emergency kits your student sells, they will receive $100!!! We are really excited about this fundraiser as we think that between, family, friends, neighbors, local business and such, each student can really make a dent in saving for the trip! All the forms and information are on our website. This is a great opportunity!!
Also, the next payment of $300 was due on May 16th. This payment date will remain as is, but we are able to move out the cancellation full refund date. Currently we said that if you need to cancel, you would have to do it before May 16th in order to get a full refund. We have moved this out to June 16th.
