Solo Festival - March 3

Post date: Feb 20, 2018 4:25:19 AM

Click HERE for the schedule for the March 3 Solo Festival, held at Norwalk Middle School. Nearly 100 5th graders signed up to perform their solo - WOW! I'm very excited for these students to play for their family & friends, they will also get feedback from another band teacher with areas they are doing well and helpful suggestions as well.

Due to the large number of students, we are split between 2 rooms - I will accompany most students in Center 3 and Mrs. Fletcher will accompany some students in Center 6. Signs will be posted to find these rooms.

My hope is for students to have learned some new things from their solo and have a positive performing experience. Ratings will not be posted and I will share their rubric with them the following week.

Click HERE for general information about that day - we will be talking through this in Big Band and lessons, so students feel comfortable with introducing themselves to their final bow.

** Students with Mrs. Fletcher will get a chance to practice with her one time on Wed. Feb. 28 - please remember to bring instruments/music.

If your child is not performing at Solo Festival, we will be making a video of them playing their solo with piano accompaniment at a band lesson in early March and I will e-mail it to you!
