Hello Everyone!
I'm feeling better about our upcoming performances but we can still use individual practice of parts at home. Great work in class today with tempos!
With that said, I stated this last week in my post and I'm going to say it again....
Be prepared for a surprise pass off on anything in Afterburn or Frozen. Our band in only as good as its individuals. Are you practicing regularly and efficiently in order to do your part?
Don't forget our rehearsal on Nov. 6 at noon. Be sure to wear your blue polo and khaki pants. Please bring your music stand as well. Parents should be ready to transport their student to Iris place by 12:45pm.
Have a blessed week!
