3. Our Winter Concert is on WEDNESDAY, December 6th at 6:30pm in the Lyman Auditorium. Please mark your date, as all students are required to attend this event. It is a MAJOR portion of their grade.
If you have an unmovable conflict, and are unable to attend, you MUST let me know NOW, so I can prepare your student for the alternative assignment for the concert. You must receive approval from me to be excused from this concert.
4. Students in all classes currently have assignments that are due this week:
Concert Band: Ab, Eb, and Chromatic scales may be recorded and submitted on eCampus.
Symphonic Band: All Scales (7 + Chromatic), may be recorded and submitted on eCampus.
Beginning Band: Pass-Off numbers 1 and 2 are due this week. Students were given a sheet with 11 pass offs that must be completed by the end of the semester. Parents, please ask for this sheet to check on their progress. Feel free to email me with any questions. Students can submit these assignments as recordings on eCampus, or can pass-off assignments in class, in the morning before school, or after school (by appointment).
That’s it for this week, thank you!
