SYMPHONIC BAND THIS WEEK

We only have THREE (but really two) after-school rehearsals for our upcoming concert, and the first one is MONDAY! Please check the band calendar.
Need to miss a rehearsal? Fill out the excuse request form here: https://forms.gle/uiApteph8ik5q4Gb6

Next week we have a regular music rehearsal on Monday, and then on Tuesday we have a "tech rehearsal." This one is important because you'll learn where to go and when to go there as we work our way through different aspects of the concert.

COLOR GUARD and DRUMLINE AUDITIONS THIS WEEK

Good luck to everyone who is auditioning! Please be on time and help the new people figure out where to go. Color Guard will be in the gym; drums will be in the Band Room.

SOLO and ENSEMBLE FESTIVAL

Once again we have several students participating in Solo and Ensemble Festival. (If you are participating, I'm counting on you to play at the concert, too!)

9:15 a.m. Report to SCHS Band Room

11:30 a.m. LUNCH at Publix (bring $$), then go to Islands HS

1:00 p.m. First SCHS performance. Each solo or ensemble will perform for one of the two judges. Some performances are in the Islands HS Auditorium; others are the Islands HS Chorus Room.
