We have a ton of music we are playing this semester, and it is not easy music. I encourage you to take the time to practice at home and make yourself better. Parents, please make sure your student is practicing their concert music. 15-30 minutes a night is what is needed. We look to have an exciting concert but we need everyone to do their work outside of class. Practice is band’s homework, just like any other class. It should be 60% practice and 40% rehearsal.
Our concert that was scheduled on the 10th has been changed. We will be moving it to the 17th, this is the same day as the middle school concert. We will perform after they do. This will work a lot like the Christmas concert.
For our classical concert and concert festival we will wear ALL BLACK this includes socks and shoes. This has to be solid colors, it can not have stripes or anything on them. If you are out of dress code you will not be able to perform and therefore will receive a 0 for that performance.
Chair challenge papers have been posted at the front of the class. Take a step outside of your comfort zone and challenge the person ahead of you. We all like competition season, this is a way for us to continue that
As we are preparing for the spring break and gearing up for summer/marching season we need to address debt. Right now we are sitting with around $9,000 in owed band fees. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ATTEND JUNE REHEARSALS UNLESS YOU ARE PAID IN FULL BY THE FIRST JUNE REHEARSAL!!!! NO EXCEPTIONS AT THIS POINT!!! Whenever you get your handbook and papers to be signed and brought back there is a payment plan on there. WE WILL BE FOLLOWING THIS STRICTLY THIS YEAR! If you are delinquent when a performance happens you will not be allowed to perform. We have to do better about fees.
Fundraisers:
Our Next pageant is March 16th. I will get a count of the students who should work that in the coming weeks.
