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!
