BEGINNING CADET BAND CLASS STARTS MONDAYS AFTER WINTER BREAK!!! 1/13/25
This Band Class will take place every Monday starting on the 13th until the end of the school year.
The beginner "Cadet Band" will come together as a real wind band starting on Monday, January 13th!
Cadet Band will need to bring their instruments on Mondays, and on their lesson day. Many of them have their lesson on Mondays already, so Monday lesson folks, just keep doing what you're doing!
Adding Band Class on Mondays affects the Friday Trumpet and Trombone students needing to also bring their instruments on all Mondays for Band Class in addition to their Friday weekly lesson, for the rest of this school year. Tuba and Baritone students bring their mouthpieces and sheet music on Mondays for Band Class and Fridays for their weekly lesson.
We will have rehearsal every Monday starting January 13th to the end of the school year. This is where the very fun part about playing an instrument begins, playing as a real band, together.
Reminder to parents/guardians: Band Class takes place during the school day. 2:30pm - 3:10pm. It does not require any after school transportation. I've gotten emails in the past about this.
Please be sure that your students practice this week. Recommended 20-30 minutes a day minimum in a perfect world. I recommend creating a schedule of balance with all life activities, where practicing is part of the weekly schedule at the same time of the evening on certain days when it is possible, with other activities/homework in mind.
Practicing at home is the equivalent to homework in other academic subjects.
Practicing at home eliminates frustration and increases confidence....and increases the fun factor in band class! Just like everything else, you will get as much out of band as you put into it.
Please practice only on the days that you eat.
