Band fees and Smart Music

Smart Music letters were distributed on Friday with download and code information.  Please email me at [email protected] if you did not get your letter and I will email it to you.  Also email me if you have questions or problems.  Reminder, I gave out codes to everyone on good faith because we only have about half of students who have paid their band fee.  The $125 band fee covers the cost of the Smart Music subscription (which is $40) along with band tshirt, WTSBOA All-West Band audition fee and solo and ensemble participation fee, sheet music, transportation cost, any school instruments and repairs, clinicians that we hire, concert facilities, end of year awards, etc...... This is made payable to Appling Middle School and goes through the school account and the fee has been set by the Bartlett City School Board.  Please pay this as soon as possible or arrange a payment plan.
 
Smart Music assignments have been posted and there are five songs due on Sept. 21.  Please work to get your program set up and work dilligently on these.  I know 6th grade and new students don't get their computers until this week, but you can go ahead and set up your account on a parent's computer if you have one.  You will need to click on "per user" rather than "shared" when you use your school computers.  Remember that you will only set up one account and can use that same account and log in information on multiple devices (student computer, parent computer, Ipad, grandparent computer, etc...).... DO NOT PUT IN THE CODE I GAVE YOU MORE THAN ONCE and PLEASE REMEMBER YOUR PASSWORD.  You will need to enroll in your class to get your assignments.  6th graders will do #12, 14,18, 23, and 24 in book one.  7th graders will do #157, 164, 166, 172, and 175 in book one.  8th graders will do #120, 128, 134, 140, and 141 in book two.  7th or 8th grade beginners will do #14, 18, 38, 42, and 44 in book one.  7th and 8th grade beginners need to have enrolled in both the beginner class and their regular class and try to work on those assignments as well.  Remember to only submit your best work, spend time on these, and do not procrastinate.
Good luck and I'm looking forward to listening to your assignments!
