I have an important update: the winter concert will now be on December 10 for all groups. Due to a conflict that made it so that no school administrators were able to attend the first part originally scheduled for December 3, we needed to make a change.
The concert will be broken into two parts.
- Part 1 features Beginning Band, Concert Band, Beginning Strings, and Advanced Strings.
- Part 1 begins at 6:00 PM.
- Part 2 features Jazz Band, Intermediate Band, and Advanced Band.
- Part 2 begins at 7:30 PM.
I will have more details by Wednesday, including a handout that will be sent home with all students.
Veterans Day Parade Wrap-Up
As you can see, the band looked great! There were several comments about how professionally the band marched, how well they played, as well as comments of surprise that "They were a middle school band?!" We also made it on the news: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYQDIvhr8Gc
Honor Band Auditions
Advanced Band and Intermediate Band students will be auditioning for a chance into Honor Band this week. Auditions will be during lunches and after school.
Advanced Band: Tree Lighting Performance
That's right! The Advanced Band was welcomed back once again to perform for part of the tree lighting festivities on Friday, December 4. Call time is 6:00 PM and students will be performing at 30 minutes "set" from 6:15-6:45 PM. Students participating will have a handout with more details.
Sparks Hometowne Christmas Parade
Our last parade is just around the corner. Call time for parade participants is 10:00 AM in the band room. New this year: students will celebrate a successful parade season with a pizza lunch at Round Table in the Grand Sierra Resort, followed by arcade time in FunQuest. All participating students will receive handouts on Wednesday with more details.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
-Mr. Jacques-
