Now that your child has spent the last year learning the basics of his/her instrument and reading music, welcome to the Concert Band! We rehearse every Wednesday at 8:00am beginning September 27 on the Gwynedd Square Elementary stage. I am very eager to get the school year underway and to build upon the talent from last year! Our Winter Concert this year will take place on Wednesday, December 20 at 7:00pm at Gwynedd Square. The Spring Concert will be on Thursday, April 11 at 7:00pm at Gwynedd Square. Please mark these dates on your calendars now and see the attached packet for other band related activities and dates throughout the year.
Band members should be dropped off for rehearsals a few minutes early to allow sufficient time for setting up, warming up and tuning instruments. We will begin playing promptly at 8:00, so anyone arriving at the last minute will be late joining the group on the stage. Inglewood students will be bussed to school at the end of the rehearsal. In the event of a late opening or the closure of school due to inclement weather, rehearsal is cancelled! (I will utilize Remind101 for any last minute reminders or alerts- you will receive a text message from me with any important announcements. At your earliest convenience, please send the message “@faik” to 81010 to sign up.)
To ensure the most positive experience for all, regular attendance is required. In the event your child misses rehearsal but is present for school, a note of explanation from you is expected. An excessive number of unexcused absences could result in dismissal from the band or performances.
Your assistance in transporting your child to rehearsal and encouraging him/her to practice at home will help ensure a productive year. Thank you for helping to make our music program successful-- I am looking forward to a great year with the band! Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions at any point throughout the school year.
