I have some reminders about honor band auditions, practice logs, and our winter concerts. Besides that, not much news this week.
This week's focus in class is exclusively winter concert music. Students need to be sure they learn notes and rhythms for their parts at home so they can come to rehearsal to learn how it fits in with the group, as a whole. If they do this, we can make great music out of these songs!
Honor Band auditions will take place at lunch and after school all this week. The audition material is mandatory for advanced band members as a playing test, but optional for them to put in to be considered for honor band. Results will be posted on Tuesday, November 25.
Practice logs will be available to submit on Thursday and Friday. They are due at the same time, 11:59 PM this Friday. If all classes earn an 80% or higher, they will be awarded a week without practice logs, which will come in handy during the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.
