TraiLS - Training for Leadership through Service

Missed the first session? That's OK; it's not too late to join in!

TraiLS is our leadership training program. Any student interested in serving in a leadership position for next year's band season should attend our TraiLS sessions. The next session is Monday, 3:30 - 4:30.

If you cannot attend on Monday but want to serve as a leader next year, that's OK! Just let Mr. Carter know, and be sure to check in later this week with someone who was able to attend.

Be sure to check the band calendar for future meetings.

TWO AFTER-SCHOOL REHEARSALS this week!

In anticipation of LGPE coming soon, we have after-school rehearsal on Tuesday AND Thursday this week. Both rehearsals are 3:30 - 5:00 p.m,.

After-school rehearsals are a grade. You must participate fully, have your pencil, your instrument, and your music in order to receive full credit. Unexcused absences count as a zero in the grade book.

You may miss up to half of the rehearsal time with an excused absence (such as sports, doctor appointments, illness, etc.). Once you miss more than half of the after-school rehearsal time, you will not be allowed to perform on the concert, which will have a negative impact on your grade. NOTE: Quarantines due to COVID-19 do not count, but you still need to notify Mr. Carter using the form below.

Our Pre-LGPE Concert on Thursday, Feb. 24, will be a little different this year. We are planning to perform at GSU in Statesboro. Stay tuned for details.
