SYMPHONIC BAND THIS WEEK

Need to miss a rehearsal?  Fill out the excuse request form here:  https://forms.gle/uiApteph8ik5q4Gb6

This 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.  If you miss these rehearsals, you may not be allowed to perform.  Be sure to *communicate* this week!

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.

2:00 p.m. Load and depart

4:30 p.m. Arrive at SCHS
