Congratulations to the Appling Honor Band for 2019/20!  I heard a LOT of good things and also heard those that have a little further to go before Allwest auditions in January.  We will have our first rehearsal this Monday 10/28 after school until 4 and will practice most Mondays and Wednesdays.  I will give you a detailed welcome letter on Monday and we will start organizing our trip to Dallas, TX.... so excited about that!

If you are an alternate, it means that you were either:  not ready at this time and/or I have balance problems in the band and need to add some more instruments before adding you.  I hope to add some more people back in later and we will have a second round of auditions on Wednesday Dec. 18, so please keep practicing. I won't need you to come to rehearsals, but I will plan to give you copies of music when we start distributing music so that you can be learning that music too.  

As of now, I have needs for more of the following instruments:  flute, clarinet, alto sax, French horn, and percussion.  Please practice the chromatic scale, first six scales on your scale sheet, and the marked sections of the Allwest music.

See you Monday!
