Hello band families.  We made it through the first week together.  I love being back with the students and making music again.  Welcome back! Lots to cover this week - read on for the details! (more…)

Good Sunday Afternoon! Here we go… back to school! I will provide weekly updates through Marching Season because there are so many moving parts that affect so many people. After Marching Season comes to a close in late October, I will pull back to twice a month. The goals is to provide all the information parents and students would need for a successful and stress-free band experience. For new parents to our program, most middle and high school music groups will have one performance (maybe two if they are busy) per nine weeks. Our band is highly involved in school activities, and our booster club, Band~Aides West is busy fundraising…

Welcome to this last planned regular email of the year.  Below you will find information about the Graduation Band performance, band camp, instrument rental, London, and an upgrade to our online database. (more…)

Since this is the last week prior to Spring Break, it is vitally important that the students take their instruments home and do just a little home practice over the week.  Not only to keep their chops in shape, but to also be prepared for upcoming performances! Now, what's coming up this week, and after Spring Break? (more…)

Great job district honor band members on Saturday, and Pep Band Members on Friday.  I received a wonderful email from the new boys basketball coach singing your praises.  Thanks for being AWESOME! (more…)

Greetings everyone.  I hope you are recovered from a long marching season. Here is our upcoming schedule and information. (more…)

Bravo to the marching band for yesterday’s performance.  I am so proud of everyone involved.  Students you worked so hard up to the very end!   You never gave up. We made forward progress from the beginning to end of the season.  (more…)

Well done Concert Band with your concert on Thursday.  You have improved greatly.  I hope you feel that way as well.  Maybe we should take time to list all of how you have improved – it would be monumental!  Great job on Saturday Marching Band, and congratulations on your Superior Rating!   I was so proud of your clinic rehearsal and especially your performance. But alas, we can’t dwell in the past, let’s look ahead to this coming Saturday and what gets us there. (more…)

Tonight is the SMSD Marching Fest.  Call time for the students to change and begin loading is 5:00p in the band room.  They should have been talking with their coaches about getting out early from practice so they can get supper ahead of our call time.  There is not meal served tonight.  We talked about that again today and I emailed the coaches to let them know also. (more…)
