Happy February! I hope the students enjoyed their built-in snow day.
We just completed a fantastic January where students have been preparing Band-O-Rama music, festival music, and honor band music. Students have become considerably stronger with their tone quality and knowledge of rhythms. In addition, the Jazz Band performed in the Jazz Extravaganza for the third year in a row, debuting their new and improved uniforms!
What's Next?
Students will have playing tests and turn in their practice logs each Friday during class. We are working on all Band-O-Rama and festival music, plus fundamentals out of the method book. There will be weekly Jazz Band rehearsals after school (note the special Tuesday rehearsal this week). Here are the other events for the month:
February 2: Jazz Band Rehearsal, 2:30-4:00 PM
- Rehearsal is on Tuesday this week only due to Student Led Conferences.
- Students received handouts with more details. Let me know if you'd like to chaperone.
- 7:00 AM call time with instrument and music. We will return by 5:00 PM
February 12: Honor Band, Day 2
- 7:00 AM call time with instrument, music, and concert dress.
- 7:00 PM free concert at Churchill County High School
- We will return by 10:30 PM
February 25: Band-O-Rama

- Students will get a bus ride back to CMS around 10:30 AM.

That's all for now!
