Band Students, the 2010 Band Festival schedule is posted below. Please remember that band assessment festival is a mandatory graded event and if you cannot play your music, you are not invited and will lose about 4000 class work points. We have been working on the music since the beginning of the school year and if you cannot play your part, you have not invested the time to do so. Furthermore, you did not ask for help or seek out help to learn your music.
This year, I am taking only those students who can play their music and those who students who represent the hard work and dedication that was put forth in mastering the music. Students, if you are not invited to participate, it is because you have not taken the time to learn your music and that is not fair to those who have. Again, the schedule is posted below:
Please note the new performance dates. This will serve as your required 30-day notice.
