Post-LGPE THOUGHTS from Mr. Carter

I know many of you are frustrated and discouraged by Saturday's results. I am, too. In situations like this, there are two ways to respond:

Way #1: Be angry, blame everyone else, and eventually give up/quit.

Way #2: Listen, learn, adapt, get back to work and get better.

The first way is the easiest. The second way is much more difficult.

I choose Way #2. How about you?

FLORIDA TRIP, March 24-25

Have you signed up for the trip Remind yet?

We have three rehearsals leading up to the trip: March 14, 17, and 22. Each rehearsal is just an hour (3:30 - 4:30 p.m.). Please make it a priority to be at all three rehearsals.

Be sure to have the Band Hotline saved as a contact in your phone. (912) 549-0262 is the number. You will need this number during the trip.

LIVESTOCK PARADE

The parade is Saturday, April 1. Report time will be 10 a.m. at the high school. Please be sure you have this on your calendar.

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, we need to get something for you. If you have chosen and you need a copy of the accompaniment, please remind me this week. And either way, GO PRACTICE!

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. This week, take a few minutes to listen to Chris Martin, probably the best trumpet player in the world today. Mr. Martin is from Georgia; he is currently the principal trumpet with the New York Philharmonic. Here he is a guest soloist with the amazing band at the University of Texas.
