Band Notes – Week of August 19


In this week’s edition of Band Notes, we have a developing healthy practice habits video and our Beginners will start their music literacy lessons, including memorizing the staff chant. Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble had a great day of learning on Saturday at our first annual Region Boot Camp. These students will start playing in class on Monday as we prepare for our first performance of the year at MS Band Night at Tiger Field on Friday, September 6. We need approved parent chaperones for this event, so please sign up using your CutTime MagicLink. After school sectionals for these students start August 26, and we will send out that schedule later this week: https://secure.smore.com/n/u501a
