Please note this message is for the students and parents of Wind Ensemble & Symphonic Band only:
Thank you to those who filled out our Fall sectional survey so we can create the best schedule for our after school sectionals that start next week (August 28) and go until Friday, November 3. Except for a couple of students, I believe we have been able to avoid athletics games, though students will be missing one practice per week to attend for Band. We are currently working directly with the coaches so everyone is on the same page and no student or parent is caught in the middle sharing between the activities.
Students are expected to “Be Punctual” and arrive seated with all materials and ready to rehearse at 4pm sharp or their grade will be affected. Students 1-5 minutes late will have their sectional grade (daily) reduced to an 85. Students who are late 5-15 minutes will have their grade reduced to a 70. Students arriving more than 15 minutes late will receive a 50. These grades replace the practice records used in previous years. Please be sure to pick up your student promptly at 5pm at the bus loop by the Cafeteria.
Here is the schedule for this Fall that starts next week until Friday, November 3:
– Mondays: Flutes and Tubas
– Tuesdays: Clarinets
– Wednesdays: Double Reeds (Oboes & Bassoons); Trumpets, Trombones, & Euphoniums, and Percussion
– Thursdays: Saxophones and Horns
