Band Booster meetings are the first TUESDAY of every month, starting at 6:00 p.m. Meetings are open to all band parents, grandparents, and other adult family members who are interested in supporting the band program. I hope you will join us. Our next meeting is November 2 at 6 p.m.

SYMPHONIC BAND REHEARSALS start November 9th!

If you are in a high school band class (period 2, 4, or 5 at SCHS), you are in Symphonic Band! We have after school rehearsals for our upcoming Christmas concert from 3:30 - 5:00 p.m. on the following dates:

• Tuesday, November 9

• Tuesday, November 16

• Tuesday, November 30

• Monday, December 6

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, 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.

LOST YOUR DOT SHEETS?

Marching season is winding down, and our competitive season may be over, but you still need dot sheets during marching band rehearsals! Now you can print your own. Click the tune you need, scroll until you find your page, and print.

AND SPEAKING OF DOT SHEETS, you'll need them on November 13th

This is a TENTATIVE date for our annual Dot Sheet Burning Party! Check the band calendar and stay tuned for details.

• LISTEN TO THIS!

• "LISTEN TO THIS" is a weekly feature in our newsletter where I challenge each member of the band to listen to some great band music. Last week's piece was Variations on a Korean Folk Song by American composer John Barnes Chance. This week's piece is another work by Chance. I hope you enjoy Incantation and Dance.
