Hope everyone had a great weekend!  The 8th graders had a good time at Bartlett High School on Friday night for 8th grade night and got to perform with the BHS band during pregame and then perform with them in the stands and see their halftime show.  It was pretty awesome to hear 280 kids in the stands!  

 

This week our 6th grade students will be continuing in their book on #26 and following and continue their sheet music as they prepare for the 6th grade Meet the Band night concert on Oct. 3.  7th graders are learning the chromatic scale and finishing up book one (#170 and following) and will start book two at the end of this week.  8th graders will be starting book three this week and should have their books on Tuesday.  Both 7th and 8th grade will be reviewing songs for the football game next Tuesday night Sept. 19 and will start sight-reading some open house music.  

 

All groups should have their Smart Music accounts set up because you got information sent home on Sept. 1.  You have five songs to submit by the Sept. 20 deadline so please get on that, spend time on it, and only submit your best work.
