Hello everyone – I hope you are enjoying some time away from school and with family and friends. During this time of reflection and thanksgiving, let me say how thankful I am to work beside such a kind and caring staff, wonderful, hard-working students, and caring parents. It is a joy to come to school each and every day!
Schedule for December
Attached is the Pep Band Schedule and assignment lists. This is the final list. A couple of changes were made due to ride assignments given to me last Friday, so please double-check your list. You are always welcome to come to more games than you are assigned, but we do need you for the games you are assigned. If you have to miss for some reason, please ask someone from the other list to cover for you so we still have a balanced band that sounds good. :-). Call times are listed on the sheet. I will have hard copies on Monday.
Pep Band Rehearsals – The last two rehearsals will be on Monday and Wednesday of this coming week. The first game is on Friday, Dec. 1.
District Honor Band students – Don’t forget you have a rehearsal on Friday, Dec. 1 at 12:30. You need to check in at noon. That rehearsal will be from 12:30 to 3:30. I will submit a list to the attendance office for an activity dismissal. Saturday morning, your registration begins at 8:30 and rehearsal begins at 8:50. PLEASE make sure you have rehearsed your music. Please ask for help if you need it. Mr. Hupe and I are happy to help. Make sure you take reeds, oil, pencils, etc. to your rehearsals.
All students – make sure you are taking your music and instrument home regularly to practice for you upcoming concert, on Thursday, Dec. 14.
Concert Dress for all concert bands is ALL BLACK. Black dress shirt, black dress pants, black dress socks, black dress shoes, black dress. White shirts and black pants are out. That was great for elementary school, but we are matching what is happening in the professional world. If you need help – PLEASE ASK. We do not want this to be a hardship. We would hope these clothes could be worn for job interviews and more.
