Fall
Marching 2020, GBAPS
We understand that everyone
wants answers about the future and wants everything to return to ‘life as we
know it.’ But as we know very well with COVID, all plans change very quickly
and we have to make adjustments. Just as the district’s priority is the health
and safety of everyone, our first priority is keeping everyone safe. In order
to do so, we have been having conversations with the district and there are a
lot of questions with the playing of instruments and the aerosols they
produce.
The GBAPS Band Directors
want to try to give you some insight as to our intentions so you can plan
accordingly:
- We will not be
holding summer marching band camps for all GBAPS High Schools.
- Individual
directors will be contacting their students/families if they want to have
a meeting prior to the start of the school year with administrative
approval.
- As for our fall
marching season we are following an if/then plan according to what the
district decides. Our plans are as follows:
- We
will be strictly enforcing all social distancing recommendations
(maintaining six foot distance) as well as face covering requirements
(students will wear masks until they play their instrument)
- We
will not be utilizing uniforms this school year. Individual directors
will be in contact regarding performance attire.
- If
school begins fully in person
- Our
marching show will look different. We will perform music as a standstill
on the field.
- If
school begins in a hybrid model
- We
will perform music as a standstill on the field. Other aspects of
performing at the games will be determined by the parameters set up for
the event by administration.
- Pre-game
pep band may be possible
- If
school begins virtually-
we will not be performing for fall sports. We will still rehearse fall
marching music in some fashion in fall (If you have creative ideas, let
us know!)
At this time, directors
will share anticipated event calendars with the understanding that all events
are subject to change.
Please know that all of our
plans are simply plans.
We must remain flexible as
we are still unsure how everything will actually play out. We are just as
uncertain and unsure as all of you and wish we had answers. Know that we will
make every effort to provide a performance opportunity for our students. All
four high school band directors are committed to working together to make sure
all of our students are provided the same opportunities.
If you have any questions
please reach out to your director.
Stay safe and
healthy,
Sara Baye, Southwest HS Karen
Iken, East HS Danielle
Scherer, West HS Megan

It's Concert Time! Our "Covid Concert" is Here
Each performance is 2.5 to 3 minutes in length. Please watch each one to support the entire band program. I commend you for the work you did to make this work. While the music selected was all done before anything happened in this interesting period of time, the music actually fits the things we ended up experiencing. A note to our non-band viewers: at no time were performers actually performing together. Each student provided recordings of their own part and they were mixed into a collective performance.
Band Online We can do this everyone!!!!
So this is maybe not the best way to have band, but for a couple weeks, it is the only way to have band. I am working on things for you to do to start getting ready with the music that was handed out before and during final exams.
I will be sharing google classroom work for you to do, even if you don't have your instrument or music. I do hope you took these items home, as well as your laptop. Please take the week of Spring Break for yourself and get ready for some interesting work starting March 23rd.
Check your school email and sign on for classroom.

Parents of Freshmen, please read the "pep band" page on times and procedures.
Recordings of Pep Band music can be found on the Pep Band Page.########################################################################################## SILENT NIGHT BASKETBALL PEP BAND Silent Night is a high school homelessness awareness benefit started by East basketball coach, Rick Rosinski. East and West take one home game each year and play both varsity games on a Saturday (JV games on another night of the week) and add extra components to the games. These things include a costume contest, school hot wing eating contest (sponsored by Buffalo Wild Wings), pep bands from both schools and complete silence at the beginning of each game until one of the teams scores 10 points. This year the game is at East (next year it will be at West). Due to the fact that our show choir, Rhapsody, has a competition that day, we will perform before the 1st game instead of the 2nd game as is customary. Band members in Rhapsody can make it back for the 1st game only. Here is the East pep band schedule for Silent Night, February 1, 2020:arrive at door 8 between 4:00 and 4:15 pm for announcements and warm-upmove to the gym at 4:30perform pre-game starting at 4:35perform Nation Anthem at 5:00return to band room at 5:05 to put away instruments At that time you may either go home or return to the gym to be part of audience (free of charge).
