Here is the December calendar.... we are quite busy! Take note of these things:
Required rehearsals (part of your grade and responsibility:
6th grade: Wed. Dec. 6 until 4:00
7th grade: Tues. Dec. 5 until 4:00
8th grade: Wed. Nov. 29 until 4:00
***Holiday Concert - Dec. 7*** (Performances are what we do and our time to shine and show off :). They are required and are a huge part of your grade) - 6:30 pm at New Hope Christian Church (corner of Whitten and Yale). Be there 6 pm. Wear concert black - black bottoms, white shirt (guys wear a tie), black socks and shoes, and Santa or Christmas hats are optional.
Dec. 1 is deadline for UT Martin Honor Band applications but I really need them in by 11/30 because it will send me a link of something to fill out about you. If chosen, this even will be Jan. 25-27.
Dec. 1 is the deadline for the spring trip $75 deposit and also for solo/ensemble auditions for the holiday concert
Jazz band will go on a holiday nursing home tour on Dec. 12...... more info to come.
Honor and Jazz Band will both perform at the holiday assembly on Wed. 12/20 on the last day of school before break.
There will be several All-West help sessions both after school and a few before school to help you with your music and to have a time and a place to practice. I hope to get some of our high schoolers and perhaps college students to come help at these. All-West auditions are Jan. 13..... don't procrastinate!
Stay on top of your Smart Music assignments that have deadlines in December as well...... use this as a tool to help you!
Ready for an awesome December!
