Dear CMS Band Families,
This week, I have a couple of updates that include a timeline for instrument, uniform, and music returns, as well as our weekly assignments and auditions.
ITEM RETURNS
The time has come for students to return to school and return any school-owned items and collect things from their lockers. Here is what they need to return, along with some important directions:
- School-owned instrument with all reeds and other personal items removed. Leave instruments lined up neatly by instrument type (this will be labeled) on the floor.
- Complete uniform, cleaned, in garment bag (Advanced Band and Jazz Band). Hang your uniform on the garment racks in the hall. If you still have marching shoes, remove them from the garment bag and line them up against the wall.
- Music folder with all personal music, flyers, and pencils removed (Advanced Band and Jazz Band). Return music folders to their assigned cubbies.
RETURN TIMES
Here is a list of the return times, sorted by last name. Please be sure they make it to the band room during these times. If none of these times work, please contact me.
18-May A, B, C 9AM - 2PM
19-May D, E, F, G 9AM - 2PM
20-May H, I, J, K, L 9AM - 2PM
21-May M, N, O, P 9AM - 2PM
22-May Q, R, S 9AM - 2PM
26-May T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z 9AM - 2PM

THIS WEEK'S ASSIGNMENT
This week, students will complete another lesson on Peardeck. To receive full credit, students must finish the slideshow and complete the quiz. There will be $10 gift certificates to Absolute Music for the top scores! The assignment is due on Thursday night at midnight and the winners will be announced on our weekly Zoom show on Friday at 10 AM.
ZOOM SHOW
Our weekly Zoom session has become more of a "talk/game show" where we wrap up our week with fun conversation, virtual games, and even a pretend spring trip. I encourage all students to attend this fun and interactive show. This week's theme: Disney, in honor of our spring trip that would have been taking place starting tomorrow. The Zoom show will take place Friday from 10:00-10:45 AM. Parents, feel free to watch.
AUDITIONS
Virtual Advanced Band (grades 6-7) and CHS Wind Ensemble (grade 8) auditions are now up and running! There is no Jazz Band audition requirement this year. I posted the audition instructions in Google Classroom, and they are due on May 29.
I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe (and sane). Have a great week!
