The past week was a good one! Most of the band has moved up in rank to "Private First Class," we had a really fun extra rehearsal last Tuesday (thanks to all of the great parents who came and watched!) and we've started to work on some of the music for our first concerts in December! Can you believe our first concerts are less than 2 months away? Be sure to have the concert dates marked on your calendars so there are no conflicts! December is SUCH a busy month! The SGS 3rd grade musical, 5th grade program and the first band concert is Tuesday, December 7 at 7pm in the gym. The RGS 5th grade musical and band concert is Thursday, December 16 at 7pm in the gym.
Has your bandling tried any of the music reading games I blogged about last week? Let me know how and if they liked them!
Here's the link to a blog I like to read regularly called, Music is Not for Insects. It's for band teachers, but this particular post is by a band parent who has three children in the area band programs, from elementary, middle and high school. He writes about how his children practice and should be of interest to you as a parent with a child in the band program
I'm really excited because I'm working with another parent to create band t-shirts! I think it will be a great way to foster unity and pride each of the groups within their schools! I'll be sending home order forms for the shirts in the next couple of weeks!
Have a great week! As always, feel free to comment (anyone out there? there? there???) or send me an email or voice message whenever you have a question or concern!
