BMS Summer Band Camp

CONGRATULATIONS!

School is out for the summer and we made it! We are proud that our band program has finished this year safely and successfully. BAND means "to join together". BAND is a family. Thank you for allowing your child to be a part of our BAND FAMILY! We look forward to seeing all our band students at the BMS Summer Band Camp to experience band together with the 8th graders!

ANNOUNCEMENTS!

Oboe, Bassoon, French Horn, Euphonium & Tuba


BAND YOUTUBE CHANNEL

The Brewer Band You-Tube Channel is a great place to find practice material over the summer.

Online Learning

PLAY YOUR INSTRUMENT DAILY. Students should play along on their instruments with the videos in CANVAS Online Learning. If they cannot play the video, they must go back and do the previous assignment video again until mastered.

Students should have registered for Essential Elements Interactive. The instructions are in CANVAS. Once registered, students can play along as they learn music from their Essential Elements band book. We usually cover about a page per week in class.

ZOOM!

ZOOM CLASS has ended for this school year.

Please be sure your student is caught up on all "Online Learning" lessons in Canvas so they are ready for virtual instruction with Mrs. Goings! Students should bring their binder, instrument, and supplies to ZOOM lessons.
