Monday is originally on the calendar for All-West brass/percussion help session but I am changing it to be for anyone needing help with their All-West/Honor Band music..... this will be the last help session offered before our honor band auditions on Oct. 15-16.  This will be over at 4 pm

 

Tuesday will be the last individual help session for beginners and peer tutors that we offer..... over at 4 pm

 

Wednesday is a REQUIRED rehearsal for the 6th grade band to prepare for the Oct. 2 Meet the Band Night concert.  6th grade students need to make sure they have their concert attire which is black bottoms (pants or girls may wear a skirt), white shirt (short or long sleeved but guys need a button up shirt and need to wear a tie - any kind or color), and black socks and shoes (or the darkest that you have.... no tennis shoes).  Sometimes you can find things at goodwill or Salvation Army or ask family members or Walmart or Payless.  If you need help getting your clothes do not be afraid to ask..... I have connections and can help you.

 

Any sixth graders wishing to audition for a solo or ensemble for the concert needs to be heard in class or during our rehearsal on Tuesday or after rehearsal on Wednesday.  

 

Our 7th and 8th graders did an AWESOME job at the football game Thursday night!  So proud!  I have posted pics/video on our A.M.S. Band Bartlett, TN Facebook page if you want to take a look.  

 

8th graders need to sign and return their permission slips for the 8th grade night next Friday.... turn in by Wednesday.

 

7th and 8th graders will be getting new music for open house starting next week and going on in their method books.  7th grade will need to have Book Two by next Tuesday or will be penalized by grade deduction and what slips..... they have been told this is coming for the past 6 weeks.  

 

Please encourage your child to practice and get in a routine now that we have been in school for a while..... they have plenty to practice!

Have a great weekend!
