Hello Band Parents! I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and that your bandlings got in some extra practice performing for the extra family and friends that were around! The next three weeks are BUSY (all CAPS mind you!) This week is the first "Band Buddies" gathering on Thursday at Spring Grove School from 4:30-6:00. This is another totally optional meeting but instead of just a full band rehearsal, band members from the high school will be giving small group lessons to my band members. After 35 or so minutes of that, then we'll have a short full band rehearsal to cement things up for the concerts! If you'd like your child to participate on Thursday and you haven't sent in the form, simply send a note to me at school or email me and let me know who will be attending.
Next week brings the concert as SGS on Tuesday, December 7 at 7:00pm. Band members should report to the library at 6:30 to warm and tune up for the big night! Concert dress at SGS is black and white. If you'd like to make their outfits a little festive for the occasion, red or green as a top is fine too. Remember, we share the night with the choir and the 3rd grade musical.
The last week of school before Winter Break brings the concert at RGS on Thursday, December 16 at 7:00pm. Because it is shared with the 5th grade musical, all 5th graders will meet in their classrooms that night. Before the band members make their way to their classrooms, they should stop by the cafeteria to assemble their instruments. The play will be performed and then the band will perform their portion.
Band t-shirts will be in soon! Band members should wear their band t-shirts to school on the day of the concert. Much like football players and cheerleaders in high school will wear their gear on the day of the game, we want to build spirit within our group on the day of the concert.
I hope you are all doing well and I look forward to seeing everyone at the concerts! Please let me know if you ever have any questions or concerns.
