I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!  I had a great break and awesome time with family with much needed rest.  The first semester went by so fast and I am so proud of your progress and can't wait to see what this semester holds for you. 

We will be busy preparing for the All-West TN band auditions for our 7th and 8th grade students on Jan. 16, the 8th grade all district band for our 8th graders on Jan. 19, and the Solo/Ensemble Festival for all band students on Feb. 27.  Honor and jazz bands will start working hard to prepare for their local festivals and the spring trip and have added some new members. 

 

Please check the January and February calendars that were posted below on the webpage.  All-West TN band audition participants should have audition times and details posted very soon for the Jan. 16 audition.   Please take advantage of every opportunity to practice these next two weeks and come to the 6 am morning help sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays and the two Friday after school help sessions as well as use Smart Music to help you with your prepared music and sightreading exercises. 

This week:

Tuesday - 6 am All-West Help session, jazz band after school until 4

Wednesday -  Full Honor Band rehearsal until 4

Thursday - 6 am All-West Help session

Friday - All-west help session until 4

 

Can't wait to see everyone on Tuesday!
