A couple of important points to recap since my last post in February:
- Solo and Ensemble Contest was an overwhelming success for the freshmen! Of the six ensembles from the freshmen band, five earned a superior rating and one earned an excellent rating. The students were well behaved at the event and I was extremely pleased with their participation in this important event. A huge thank you to everyone for all of their efforts!
- I was quite pleased with the students' performance at the concert on March 7. The pieces that we performed were quite challenging and I was proud of our growth.
- On Friday, March 15, the band hosted the Ohio Music Education Association Large Group Adjudicated Event for District 6 here at Cuyahoga Falls High School. Many freshmen volunteered to help with this event and I am extremely grateful for their efforts. Many, many thanks to the percussionists that performed and all of the students that volunteered!
Looking ahead to the next couple of weeks, here are a few things to consider:
- The All-City Band Concert will be on Monday, April 8 in the high school gymnasium. Students need to be dressed in their concert attire, seated and ready to rehearse in the gym at 6:30. Plan to arrive at the high school no later than 6:00 to dress and prepare for this event.
- We are currently selling raffle tickets for the annual All-City Band Concert iPad raffle. Students need to turn in the ticket stubs and money to Closet 10 in the band room as soon as possible. Tickets will be sold at the concert on Monday and the winner will be chosen during the performance. If you need more tickets or have any questions about this, please don't hesitate to contact me.
I will try to update the blog after the All-City Band Concert and include details about the final performances for the school year. This is a very busy time and I hope to keep everyone up to date as best as possible.
As always, thank you for reading! :-)
