This is your weekly MUSIC DEPARTMENT update!
Hello Folks!
I hope everyone had a restful Thanksgiving Break! I think the week off was much needed and hopefully we can now finish off the remaining quarter strong! Also don't forget....
So yes, there have been some developments with Football. Right now, we know that there is a game in Miami this Friday. I am trying to make it possible for the Band to attend. More information will come out as it is received, but I will need band families to be prepared to handle adjustments to our calendar as they happen. If we miraculously win this game on Friday, we will plan to go to state and perform our Halftime Show, meaning we will need to add Marching Rehearsals to our calendar so we can remember how our show goes. I have not yet put on the calendar any adjustments for if we win Friday’s game because I don’t want to mess with our concert date.
Band, please be flexible and work hard to be in attendance both at school and at all our December events. A number of us have fallen off, particularly those members of Wind Ensemble who failed to attend what was effectively our last after school rehearsal before the Christmas Concert. Band is a team activity, and we need all members of our team present to be our best.
