Here are the first few things you need to do:

1. Senior Banquet Information - Fill out this Google Form letting us know the music activities you have participated in during your time at Batavia HS. These awards will be given to you in a banquet on May 13th in your honor. The form is due by March 20th. 
   
2. Fine Arts Signing Day - This year, we are hosting the first-ever Batavia High School Fine Arts Signing Day for students in music, theatre, art, video, and graphic design that are majoring in the arts next year. We are inviting parents to watch our students attend a short ceremony in May on a Thursday morning (likely date is 4/30/2020). The signing day is free for students and parents - more details to come. The form is due by April 6th. You should only sign up for this if you are planning to major in music. 
   
3. Rose Ceremony - Each year, we honor our senior music students with a rose ceremony to honor their achievements in music for the last eight years, four at Batavia HS. Please indicate whether your parents will be present at our final concert on May 7 and let me know their names. This form is due by March 26th. 
   
4. Pictures for the Senior video - Please send a baby (or child) picture and a recent picture that we can project at the concert and at the senior awards banquet. Email .jpg files to Mr. Barsch, please.
   

Finally, we are looking for a senior student to put together the senior and baby picture slideshow. If you are interested in doing this, please E-Mail peter.barsch@bps101.net and we will chat about how to make this work. 
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!
