We are finishing our third week of the final quarter of this school year. Our focus is on preparing for our spring programs to be held the latter part of May. Please keep encouraging your student to practice so that we will be well prepared for our performances! As a reminder, practice sheets are due weekly (90 minutes). Also, please keep in mind that each student needs to attend a community concert for second semester. If you have not already taken in a concert, this is a good time to start looking for one. If you know of any concerts coming up, I would be happy to post the information.
Advanced Band Practice Options
Advanced Band students have been given an option for the practice portion of their grade for this final quarter of the year. They can choose to 1) turn in a practice sheet as in previous quarters, or 2) complete a skills test of the required music. For those opting to take the skills test, practice is still necessary to successfully complete the test. There will be three skills tests given throughout the quarter.
Happy Spring!
