BAND LESSONS FOR THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER 23RD - NOVEMBER 27TH
FOR BEGINNING BAND:
Hafa Adai, Amazing Band Hawks! For those of you who have attended Zoom Meetings and have stayed on task with all band assignments; I couldn't be more proud! I am thoroughly enjoying this opportunity to work with you and get to know you all better! Still, I am extremely worried! There are some students who I still cannot connect with. There are others who attended the first Zoom session, and perhaps did one or two assignments; but, sadly, I haven't heard from you since those first few days. Class, I know this is hard. I am sure some of you feel overwhelmed with remote learning. Still, these assignments are not difficult. If you need extra help, please reach out to me. I will bend backward to help you. All you have to do is email me to let me know you need help, and I will be sure to reach out to you! If you need help in any way, all you have to do is reach out to me. My email is: cwflores@gdoe.net.
SPECIAL NOTE: CLASS, ALL TEACHERS WILL BEGIN TO OFFICIALLY TAKE ATTENDANCE ON POWER SCHOOL THIS QUARTER. IF YOU ARE AN ONLINE STUDENT, YOU MUST ATTEND, AT LEAST, 1 ZOOM MEETING EACH WEEK. IF YOU ARE A HARD COPY STUDENT, YOU MUST TURN IN WORK WEEKLY IN ORDER TO HAVE PERFECT ATTENDANCE FOR THAT PARTICULAR WEEK.

FOR ADVANCED BAND
Hafa Adai, Amazing Advanced Band Hawks!
I felt that last week's rehearsal went a little bit better than our first rehearsal; however, the lagging is definitely challenging. A couple of things that may help prevent horrible lagging would be:
1) Use headphones
2) Make sure all other devices are turned off (TV's, etc.).
Some of you still have not picked up your instrument. Please email me if you would like to pick your instrument up, and we can arrange a time that is best for your family and for me. If your parents work and you want to get your instrument, but absolutely can't come to school at that time, please email me. Perhaps we can make other arrangements. My email is cwflores@gdoe.net.
My goal is to outfit all of you with instruments so that we can try our best to really be a true band. Most of your new assignments will be performance related; however, I will continue to give alternate assignments to those who still do not have an instrument to play. We will also be using SmartMusic more and more.
I know a lot of you want a lot of songs right away. I humbly ask for your patience. It will take some time to scan all the music for everyone. Little by little, I will build our music library via Google Classroom. Each week, I will try to add in more songs. I am looking forward to more rehearsals!
By the way, if you need help with anything, I am here for you. I will do anything to help you, even if it is a private Zoom session just for you to help you understand things better. I am still trying to foster our theme: "ONE BAND, ONE SOUND, ONE TEAM, ONE FAMILY". When you don't join Zoom sessions or connect with me, I really worry about you!
Special thanks to all the parents who attended Parent-Teacher Conference and my special Zoom meeting! It was wonderful meeting all of you! Some parents have requested a third Zoom conference, as they were unable to attend last week's Zoom conference. I will run it again on Thursday. Please scroll down for the Zoom link.
Have a great week, everyone! Please stay healthy and safe!
