And we're off!

Today was our first day of Freshmen Band and I am thrilled to report we are off to a very positive start!  Students did a great job exhibiting patience as we assigned instruments, passed out folders and found our new seats.  We were able to sight read all of A Charlie Brown Christmas and had a very successful, positive first practice together.

If you are reading this, then I am assuming you have seen a copy of the Freshmen Band Handbook.  I will do my very best to update this blog weekly with information about what the group is doing.  Students have two brief assignments to complete by Friday, November 15.  The first is to comment on this post with their first name and the first initial of their last name (for example, James P.).  The second is to have their parent or guardian sign the contract on the last page of the handbook and return it to school. This lets me know that you have seen a copy of the handbook and performance schedule.

Please don't ever hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.  I look forward to making this a successful, positive experience for all of the students. :-)
