SYMPHONIC BAND REHEARSALS ON MONDAY and THURSDAY THIS WEEK
IMPORTANT: If you need to miss rehearsal, you must complete the absence form: https://forms.gle/jmRrSAH3uVFkKdWx8
This form must be completed the day before the rehearsal. Otherwise, your absence will automatically be unexcused. That means if you are going to miss rehearsal tomorrow, you need to fill out this form NOW.
IMPORTANT: If you need to miss rehearsal, you must complete the absence form: https://forms.gle/jmRrSAH3uVFkKdWx8
This form must be completed the day before the rehearsal. Otherwise, your absence will automatically be unexcused. That means if you are going to miss rehearsal tomorrow, you need to fill out this form NOW.
Also, each rehearsal is a grade, so for each unexcused absence from rehearsal, you are getting a zero in the gradebook. See Google Classroom for an opportunity to turn that zero into a 70.
BLACK HISTORY MONTH PROGRAM
BLACK HISTORY MONTH PROGRAM
The SCHS Band is hosting a Community-Wide Black History Month Program on Tuesday, February 28 at 6:30 p.m. in the SCHS Auditorium. This is the first of what we hope will be an annual event. The program will feature the SCGMB Gospel Choir, the SCHS Jazz Band, and the SCES 5th Grade Drama Club. Admission is FREE. Please help us spread the word!
LGPE
LGPE
Our LGPE Performance in Savannah will be on SATURDAY, MARCH 11. This is our annual concert band evaluation, and it is very important. The itinerary for this performance is below.
We only have FOUR after-school rehearsals before LGPE, and each one is important. Please make those rehearsals a priority, and be sure to communicate if you cannot attend one.

SOLO and ENSEMBLE FESTIVAL
SOLO and ENSEMBLE FESTIVAL
If you signed up for a solo but did not pay, you can pay your $6 in the front office.
If you have not yet selected a solo to play, let's get that done this week. I can help you any day before school. I ordered some solo books that just came in on Friday, so hopefully one of those will work for you. (If I loaned you a book on Friday, please bring it back!)
