This is your weekly MUSIC DEPARTMENT update!
Hello Folks!
Great job at the Christmas Parade! Just a few more things to go in what will prove to be one more busy week! Power through!
Weekly Walkthrough + A Little More
Monday, we have our Christmas Concert Dress Rehearsal from 3pm to 6:30pm. Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, and Percussion are the only required groups for this rehearsal. I'm slightly modifying this rehearsal and Wind Ensemble folks only need attend from 3pm to 5:00pm for A Christmas Festival practice. Starting at 5:00pm, Symphonic Band will rehearse with percussion to make sure our music is glued together. There is also a Band Booster Meeting at 6:30pm in the BCHS Band Room!
Tuesday, we have the BCHS Christmas Concert. Call time is 4:30pm for all units. I need loading crew to stay during in between to ensure the auditorium is properly set up for the concert. At 4:30pm, we'll have a brief gluing rehearsal for Wind Ensemble and percussion. Then we'll have sound checks and it'll be about time to perform.
Wednesday, COME TO SCHOOL. We need to ensure all band materials are off the stage by the end of the school day. There are no activities after school.
Thursday, we have the BCHS Music Department Christmas Party. Party begins at 3pm in the Band Room! Remember to bring a present WORTH NO MORE THAN $25 AND NO LESS THAN $20 to participate in the White Elephant Gift Exchange!
Friday, we have the First Coast Nutcracker! Believe it or not, there are still tickets remaining, so if you'd like to go, please bring $20 to be signed up! Here is a link to the itinerary.
Saturday, we have the Breakfast with Santa at Legacy Elementary! Jazz Band and anyone in a Christmas Ensemble is performing. We need folks who aren't performing to help staff the event for volunteer hours! Mrs. Luke will come out with a sign up soon!
Sunday, Jazz Band performs at Harvest Ministries. Times TBA. Students will meet AT Harvest Ministries Baker Campus, 7445 FL-121, Macclenny, FL 32063.
