We are quickly moving towards our highly anticipated winter break! In an effort to prepare for a grading period that will end soon after our January return, I am informing students as to any missing assignments. These assignments will need to be completed no later than Friday, December 17 in order to earn credit for them. The handout that students received regarding these make-up assignments can be found here. Look in the Class Files/Links box to find all of the needed materials. Here is another link to the holiday concert if you are in need of that as well.
As always, please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns about any of these assignments.

OUTSTANDING!
Congratulations to all of the members of the Freshmen Concert Band on their outstanding performance last night! I was very proud of how well you played and conducted yourself - BRAVO! Many thanks to all of you that came out to support the students - the concert was very well attended.
Today we will spend some time listening to the recording from the concert. Students will complete a reflection activity and then develop a goal sheet for the remainder of the grading period. Our work will then turn to sight reading pieces in preparation for our next concert in March. We will focus on determining what pieces fit us the best so we can go on Christmas break knowing what we will be working on. On Thursday, we will discuss Solo & Ensemble contest (February 16) and the preparations that we need to continue making as we move forward in that area as well. Always a lot to do around here! :-)

What was I thinking?????
I have incorrectly posted the date of our concert as tonight - that is NOT correct! All members of the Freshmen Band will perform tomorrow night - Tuesday, December 11. All other information concerning arrival and performance times is correct. Tonight's concert will be for Symphonic Band, Black Band and Jazz Ensemble.
Many, many apologies for my error. I attribute this to holiday fatigue . . . . . . :-)

Concert Update
Good afternoon!
The busy month of December is upon us and with it comes numerous holiday activities. I hope everyone is looking forward to our first performance of the concert band season.
All members of the Freshmen Concert Band will perform on Monday, December 10. Students need to arrive at the high school no later than 5:45 to dress for the performance. After getting into uniforms, students will move to the auditorium to have their picture taken. Pictures will begin promptly at 6:00, so please do your best to be on time so that things can progress smoothly.
Everyone needs to wear black shorts and a plain white t-shirt with no writing on it. Gentlemen need to wear black dress shoes or their marching band shoe and ladies need to wear black flats. The concert begins promptly at 7:00 and should last no longer than one hour.
Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns that you may have. I look forward to seeing everyone next week!
