Excellent progress on Christmas music!

I am very pleased with the progress of our young band students on their concert music!  It is very exciting to hear how their practicing is helping them learn their music.  We are counting down the final rehearsals until our first big performance and cannot wait to show you what we have accomplished in such a short time.  Please make sure that you have invited all of the student's grandparents, etc. to our first performance.  We will also be performing matinees in each of the elementary buildings for the younger students.  I will send this schedule home as soon as we have that put together.  All of you are invited to the matinee performances as well.  Enjoy your Thanksgiving  Break!

Christmas Concert Information

Our annual District Elementary Band/Orchestra Concert will be held on Monday, Dec. 13, at 7:00pm in the PAC.  The orchestra will perform first followed by the band.  All 4 of our elementary bands will join forces on stage to perform their selections.  The band students will need to meet in the high school band room by 6:45pm to prepare for their portion of the performance.  Students are expected to dress appropriately for the concert.  All students are expected to be at the evening performance as this is important for the balance in the instrumentation for the performance. 

We will go to the PAC to rehearse on Monday, Dec. 13, in the afternoon to prepare for the concert.  The band students will leave their campuses at 1:00 and arrive back before the end of the school day.  We will also be performing matinee concerts at each of their respective elementary buildings.  I will post those dates as soon as we have those scheduled.  Parents/guardians/grandparents are also invited to these matinee performances.

Please encourage your child to continue practicing their concert music at home as we prepare for their first major performance of their instrumental music careers!  Until next week........

November Already??

October is but a memory and here we are finishing up the first week in November!!  Our first concert is only 5 weeks away and the band students have been busy working on their sheet music for this performance.  All 4 of our elementary bands will share the stage for this performance.  We will travel to the Performing Arts Center on Monday, Dec. 13, for an hour of massed rehearsal in the afternoon and then will perform our selections at the evening concert.  We have still been working out of our band method book during lessons and rehearsals to reinforce musical concepts which we are encountering in our concert pieces.  This has been beneficial in putting our selections together. 

Please continue to encourage the practice time at home as this is so necessary to reinforce the concepts that we are working on during our rehearsals.  Please do not hesitate to contact me with any concerns or questions!  Until next week..
