• We need you!
• Wind Ensemble begins State prep
• PIL JV Band Festival - April 19
• Solos & Ensembles Accepted to State
• Sponsorship Special
• Summer Camps

The Friends of Cleveland Bands has several board positions that need filling in June:

• Vice President
• Fundraising Coordinator
• Sponsorship Coordinator
• At Large

We have two important extra rehearsals this month:

• Thursday, April 6 from 6:30 - 8:30pm
• Saturday, April 15 from 9am - 3pm with Dennis Llinas from University of Oregon.

These early rehearsals are very important, because as we get closer to May we lose IB students to testing.
Therefore, these two rehearsals are EXTREMELY important.

Our Concert and Symphonic Bands will be performing at Lincoln HS on April 19 for the PIL JV Band Festival.

Please be sure your young musician has all of their appropriate concert attire. Everything should be black, including the shoes.  Please avoid jeans, t-shirts, polo shirts, tennis shoes and white socks.  The attire for concerts is considered formal.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mr. Riler - griler@pps.net

We need a few chaperones for this event!  Please reach out to our Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer.coordinator@clevelandbandspdx.com if you're able to help out.

The official acceptance invites were sent out the week before Spring Break and during Spring Break.
