| Video about Beginning Band Fall 2020 ____________________ Greetings Band Students, Mr. Stai has been compiling some resources to help you with practicing, listening, sight reading, composing, and improvisation. Some of these resources are brand new, some are very familiar with and some just discovered; all of which appear to be valuable resources for our Sherwood Band program. I only posted resources that were either free OR had a free trial period. I’ll continue to edit/add to this link as things become more evident so that these resources stay at the top of our home page. Happy practicing everyone! See www.sherwoodbands.org for more info!

I know at least a few of our lessons teachers have found a way to do online lessons. Denise Westby – Flute – denise.westby5@gmail.com Dear Middle School Parents & Students, It is with regret to inform you that SYBC will be going on a one year hiatus. We will not be having a camp during the summer of 2020. The reason for this is due to the fact that there is not adequate facility availability this summer in Sherwood. Half of the district buildings are under construction being fitted for their new facility roles with the SSD transition. The new SHS facility has road construction happening which won't allow public access. There is simply no space with adequate rehearsal & performance space with public access. I am working on gathering a suggested list for alternate summer music camps for student's interested in playing this summer. Camps can be found at https://sherwoodbands.org/lessons-camps/
Sorry for the bad news. SYBC will be back full force in 2021! P.S. - I still plan on finding a solution for the Robin Hood Parade Marching Band and will communicate that at a later date. ~Brant Stai - SHS Band Teacher January is Goal month - Mr. Dyer's students set personal band goals the first week in January. Parents, ask your student what their goal is, and encourage them to bring their instruments home and show you how they're working on it!
