The football game that our 7th and 8th graders are playing in is at 6:30 and not 6 as originally advertised.  Everything will be pushed back 30 min.... so meet at Appling to help with equipment at 5:30, meet at the Bartlett Methodist Church parking lot next to Woodlawn at 6 wearing band t-shirt and having instrument with no case, 6 pieces of sheet music (3 cheer sheets, School Spirit, Best Day of My Life, and we added Dynamite), game is 6:30-7:30, and then pickup will be between 7:30 and 7:45 in the church parking lot.  We had a good rehearsal today (although WAY WAY too talkative..... gotta work on that!) but we sound really good and I'm looking forward to having a good time at the game.

 

Smart Music is due by midnight 9/20 for potential full credit.  Students have had assignments for over two weeks.  I will be listening to these and giving feedback and putting in PowerSchool hopefully by first of next week.

 

7th graders need to have book two purchased by next Tuesday's band class.

 

Students interested in auditioning for jazz band should have picked up a packet.  I have marked a sheet with marked spots that they will need to get from me and mark their music.  Auditions will be on Oct. 17.

 

There will be a high school marching competition at Arlington High School this Saturday 9/22 and there will be many great high school bands performing starting at 4:30 and going until about 9:30.  Bartlett High will march toward the end I think around 9..... will try to get a complete schedule.  This would be a great opportunity to see what high school band I all about.

 

I perform with my church Faith Baptist and our orchestra will be having a free movie music concert on Sept. 30 at 6 pm.... would love to have you attend.  

And mark your calendars for Oct. 28...... the Bartlett Community Band will be performing in an awesome Halloween concert at 3 pm at BPAC.
