This is your weekly MUSIC DEPARTMENT update!
Hello Folks!
This week is a hair wild! 🤪 Or perhaps it's a wild hare. 🧐
Let's break it down.
Monday, Mr. Moore will be at BCMS all day. All classes are expected to work on either:
Practicing the Q.P. #5 requirement. (Translation: Practicing your Concert MPA Music individually or in Sectionals)
Submitting Q.P. #5 on Flipgrid or recording it to submit later. (Translation: recording yourself playing a section of your MPA music)
Practicing your Solo and Ensemble literature for the concert on Tuesday 2/7 (if you do not have anything prepared to play for this concert, you are still expected to attend the concert, but there will be an alternative assignment for you so that you may earn credit).
Practicing the NFHB music if you are in NFHB
Tuesday, Mr. Dirk Schmidt will be visiting the Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Bands. Be ready.
There is also an NFHB rehearsal this day. We will leave at 3:30pm and stop by Wendy's beforehand. Please bring $$$.
Wednesday, Mr. Moore will be gone again due to NFHB duties. This is a short day. Sectionals are recommended.
Thursday, NFHB students are to report to the Band Room at 10:30am. We leave at 11:00am to get Wendy's then head off to Union County.
Friday, NFHB students must report to the band room first thing at 7:30pm. Do not go to class. You need to bring your Concert Attire and you need to be wearing your NFHB shirt. Concert begins at 7:00pm. Students need to be picked up from Union County High School as there will be no transportation back to BCHS.
Saturday, Students in Wind Ensemble MAY be going to Florida State University this day. I am trying to nail down answers tomorrow so I can create an itinerary. I appreciate everyone's patience as I work to get answers about this opportunity.
Just keep your schedule organized, and let's push forward into this week with a positive attitude!
