PARENT: I sure wish I could get the Band Calendar on my phone. Then I would have it with me all the time! I could check it when I make doctor appointments and stuff like that.
MR. CARTER: You can! Just click the "+ Google Calendar" button above! (It's on the bottom-right of the calendar block above.)

MASKS and SCREENING

DURING BAND CLASS: Masks are required as you enter the band area, while you are in the instrument storage room (lockers), and at the start of band class. Go directly to your assigned seat in class. Obviously, you will need to remove your mask in order to play (except percussion). Put your mask back on if another section is working. Masks must be put on when we pack up at the end of class.

AFTER SCHOOL: Just like during band camp, masks should be worn at the start of rehearsal, during transitions, and at dismissal. Now that we are starting our regular after-school routine, we will not be doing screening/temperature checks before practice. Please stay home if you are sick. Please go home if you get sick during the school day.

BAND BOOSTERS

Our next Band Booster meeting is THIS TUESDAY, August 18, at 6:00 p.m. This is an online meeting using Google Meet.

NEED TO MISS AN AFTER-SCHOOL REHEARSAL?

Don't forget to let Mr. Carter know! The best way is to text the Band Hotline: (912) 549-0262. You can also email Mr. Carter at hank.carter@screven.k12.ga.us, or send a message via Remind. It is not good enough to tell a friend, "Hey, I won't be there because of ____." You need to TELL MR. CARTER DIRECTLY.

MONDAYS IN AUGUST

We will have indoor music sectionals after school on Mondays, beginning on August 24. Brass only on August 24; Woodwinds only on August 31; we will continue to alternate after that. Sectionals will be held on stage from 3:45 - 5:00 p.m.
