August Rehearsals UPDATE

Mr. Jones will be leading a professional development meeting on August 5th. Due to this, the full band rehearsal scheduled for Thursday, August 5th will begin at 12:30pm and run until 3:30pm.

The 8th grade band will rehearse the week of August 2nd 12:00-3:30. Students will need to attend only 2 of the 4 days. 1 day is a sectional for their instrument family and the last day is Thursday, August 5th as a full band rehearsal. These rehearsals were planned after speaking with our athletic coaches to ensure there was no overlap. I encourage students who are involved in morning athletic practices to bring a snack lunch or make plans to have lunch brought to them between their events.

7th graders who would like to be challenged and have the opportunity to learn pep music in order to perform at pep rallies are encouraged to attend.

Schedule for the week:

Monday, August 2nd - Low Winds (Saxophones, Bass Clarinets, French Horns, Trombones, Euphoniums and Tubas

Tuesday, August 3rd - High Winds (Flutes, Clarinets and Trumpets)

Wednesday, August 4th - Percussion

Thursday, August 5th - Full Band Rehearsal (12:30-3:30p)

• Instrument in PROPER WORKING CONDITION

• Oil valves, clean/grease slides

• Sharpened Pencil (no pens)

• FULLY CHARGED CHROMEBOOK

We can NOT WAIT to see everyone and start making music again. It is going to be a FANTASTIC YEAR!
