Beginning and Concert Band Performance - May 14 (at CMS)

Hopefully students sent home the information flyer with the details about our spring concert.  They have all worked very hard and will be performing 5 songs each.  I'm excited to show off these great young groups.  Call time will be 5:00 PM for all students with a start time of 5:30 PM. Please either bring a baked good or drink, or come and purchase some to help raise funds for the new storage cabinets.  I will need flyers supplied by the students by Wednesday morning.

Strings Performance - May 14 (at EVMS)

Strings has an exciting performance that includes Fantasia 2000 and a world premiere performance of Home Means Nevada, written for multiple experience levels that will be played together.  Also featured at this concert will be the Eagle Valley Middle School and Carson High School orchestras.  Call time for students is 6:30 PM with the performance beginning at 7:00 PM.  

Intermediate and Advanced Band Performance - May 20 (at CMS)

This performance will now be held in the CMS cafeteria.  Each of these groups will present 4-5 pieces that will show off their progress throughout the school year.  Call time will be 5:30 PM with the concert beginning at 6:00 PM.  I will be giving out information flyers in class tomorrow.  Also, I will be holding a bake sale and snack bar to help raise funds for the new storage cabinets.  Once I give out the flyers, feel free to bring them back within the next week so I know what items to expect.  

Auditions

Unlike last year, students are only going to have to audition for advanced band and jazz band.  For all other ensembles, I will simply sign students up based on their interest and abilities.  I will be giving out audition materials for the other ensembles within the next two days.  Auditions will take place beginning on Wednesday, May 21 during class and after school and results will be posted by Tuesday, May 27.  For 8th graders, please email wjzabelsky@hotmail.com for wind ensemble audition materials at CHS.  

I hope to see you all at our final concerts of the school year!
