Weekly Message from Mrs. Owens for Band and Chorus

Dear Band & Chorus Families, 

This week we are going to have a change to our Symphonic Band schedule.  Please note this change and the change to the week of 10/12-10/16.

Monday, September 28 - 3:00-5:00 - Chorus Rehearsal- We will work on rhythm reading, solfege, warm-up and some winter/holiday tunes

Tuesday, September 29 - 3:00-5:00 - Concert Band Rehearsal - We will continue progress in our Essential Elements book AND work on the Beginner Band Tunes that we will use in Pep Band.  These are easier than the ones we did last week.  Also, we will play IDK and work on Warp Speed. 

Wednesday, September 30 - 3:00-4:30 - Percussion Ensemble - We will work on parts to Beginner Band Tunes, Warp Speed, IDK and Tadpole.  We will review the parts from last week as well. 

Thursday, October 1  - NO REHEARSAL due to a Classical Foundations Program lecture that I will be attending.  Let's reschedule this rehearsal on October 15 at 3:00 - 5:00.  This is a Teacher Workday, so we won't be in school that day.  Once I check the Professional Development schedule for that day, I may change the time, so keep your eyes and ears open for new information.  

Friday, October 2 - I have room for 2 lessons.  3:00 and 3:30.  I am going to reserve these spots for our new saxophone and trombone players, if they want them.  If not, the first 2 requests will get these spots.  

SAVE THE DATES:

Friday, October 23:  Tentative - Late Night Madness (Formerly Called Midnight Madness)

Friday, December 4 :  Early dismissal and Homecoming Parade

Sunday, December 6:  Tentative - Town of Earl Christmas Parade

Thurday, December 10:  Winter Concert, arrive at 6:15, concert at 7:00

We have a lot of music to work on already.  Practice makes progress!  

It's going to be a great week!

Musically,

Tara Owens
