"Use what talents you possess -- the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best." ~Henry Van Dyke
Make the most of every learning opportunity
Use kind words when speaking
Sing and play your best
Insist on being a "BIRD"
Cooperate for building a winning team

Be positive
Initiate an encouraging atmosphere
Respect the teacher, yourself, and other students
Do unto others as though you were the others

Third Quarter

It's hard to believe that we are already half way through this school year. The start of a new quarter/semester is a good time to evaluate our progress so far, as well as to set goals for the remainder of the year. Parents, please encourage your student(s) to practice their instrument so that they are able to make a positive contribution to the band. To aid in this process, I am requiring all students to record practice time this quarter and I thank you in advance to helping to make that happen!
