Dear Parents,
There is so much to celebrate and so much more to look forward to in the next week. Let's begin with a few reminders about our final concerts of the year.
May 13: Spring Concert, Part 1 Call time is 5:15 PM in the band room in your student's concert attire. The concert begins at 5:30 PM with the 5th grade bands from the elementary schools. We will the continue with Beginning Strings, Beginning Band, and Concert Band. The concert should end around 7:00 PM. We will also be giving out special awards to certain members of each group, so this one is definitely not to be missed!
May 14: Spring Concert, Part 2 Call time is 5:15 PM in the band room for Advanced Strings and Intermediate Band. Call time is 5:30 PM in the cafeteria for Advanced Band and Jazz Band. The concert begins at 5:30 PM. Please make sure your student is in their concert attire. We will play music from our band festivals, plus some others that we learned for fun in the last month. The concert should end around 7:30 PM. We will also be giving out special awards to certain members of each group.
Wind Ensemble Results
This year, an unprecedented 6 students made it into Carson High School's Wind Ensemble. Congratulations to Adelynn Puett, Regan Lowe, Rachael Cuellar, Jacob Richetta, Syrena Chowanski, and Gillian Mandel!
Spring Trip
The 2015 Spring Trip is in the books and it's definitely one that I will never forget! The chaperones were incredible, our bus driver was on time, friendly, and safe, and the students did very well. Here are a few photos that highlight parts of the trip.

Heavy snow and chain controls greeted us on the first leg of the trip.
12 hours later, we played in the water and enjoyed this view!
Fun at the pool.
On Friday, we preformed at Dale Jr. High (this conductor was my elementary school band director). Their school performed for us immediately after.
The band, immediately after performing at the soundtrack recording session.
The band on stage. Just wait until you get a chance to see a recording of their performance!
Would your student like to be in this ensemble and travel with their best friends? Final playing tests for band members will take place on the final two weeks of school. This will include 3 major scales for Beginning Band and Concert Band members, 5 major scales for Intermediate Band and Advanced Band members, and a chromatic scale, as well as a prepared piece of music or all ensembles. If you'd like to be considered for Advanced Band, I will also be looking at consistent practice logs and work ethic in class. Best of luck!
One more concert and we're done! Let's make the most out of it!
