CONGRATULATIONS on a SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE!

The Screven County Band is, once again, SUPERIOR! Your performance on stage was well done, and the sightreading room was even better.

8th GRADERS VISIT ON THURSDAY

8th Grade band members from SCMS will visit during 6th and 7th periods on Thursday. We will play for them (concert stuff and maybe a little bit of marching stuff) and talk to them about why they should join marching band. Percussionists who played on Cajun Folk Songs and all marching band percussionists should plan to be in the Band Room during 7th period on Thursday.

ADVISEMENT MEETING FRIDAY

On Friday, March 14th, students will go to their advisors to discuss scheduling for next year. Looking for another course to fill out your schedule? Consider JAZZ BAND! If you can play a scale, you can be in jazz band.

Ways to NOT attempt to contact Mr. Carter: FB or Insta DM, tell a friend*, smoke signals, tell Ms. O, text someone else who lives at my house, carrier pigeon, ESP. Just text the hotline.

*The words, "Tell Mr. Carter" should never be the first words in a text to your friend. Just text the hotline.

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 music. They say the trombone is the instrument most like the human voice. Judge for yourself as you listen to the Schwob Trombone Ensemble (Columbus State University in Columbus, GA) play Africa by Toto.
