Hey Parents!!!
I hope you're doing well. Things are off to a great start! Sectionals and early band are in full swing. We're working hard on the show. Things are fantastic! I'm very pleased with the overall effort and attitude of the band. They're doing a wonderful job!
Sectionals meet once weekly at 7:00 a.m. Full Band also meets at 7:00 on Wednesday. Daily morning rehearsal start time is 7:55 - This helps us recoup some of the time we lose by having to stop early to get back to the band room and equipment put away. Please help your kids get here on time. On time really means early so they are ready to go at the start time - not staggering in the door half asleep! We open the building at 6:30 every day that we have early groups in.
Flutes/Clarinets - Monday
Low Brass/Alto Group - Tuesday
Wednesday - Full Band
Thursday - Trumpets
Current grades are posted on Edline. The scale is:
Daily grade 10%
Sectionals 30%
Performances 60%
If a student has missed one of the two sectionals so far, then their grade is not very good. I expect that will come up significantly as we add more sectional grades and performances to the mix. Being at the right place at the right time with the with the right equipment and the right attitude ready to roll is where the daily points are derived from.
Thanks for all you do to help your students be successful.
