Announcement 3/21/21

1)  The Color Guard Clinic and Auditions are this week!  The Clinic will be on Monday - Wednesday from 3:30 to 5:30 where they will go over the fundamentals and a routine that they will do at the audition on Thursday.  The students will find out their individual audition times on Wednesday.

2)  Jazz Band will meet on Tuesday this week from 3:30 to 4:30.

3)  We are starting the process of preparing for the Spring Parades, which means students need to be ready to go outside during class any day.  I recommend you have a pair of shoes ready every day that are fit for marching, and you can keep them by your seat in the Band Room during the day if they are not the shoes you normally wear.  Also, have extra water ready to use for those days we go outside.  Again, you can keep these by your seat during the school day. 

Announcements 3/14/21

1)  Happy Pi Day!  I hope everyone remembered to Spring Forward last night, and I hope you enjoy the extra hour of sunlight in the evenings!

2)  Jazz Band this Thursday after school.

3)  For Rose Parade participants, we are starting a new fundraiser this week - Candles.  It's not Yankee Candle this time since they have suspended fundraising until Covid is over, but these candles sell for $10 with $5 of that going directly into each student's Rose Parade account.  You will have until April 7 to sell these candles.  

Announcements 3/7/21

1)  Jazz Band will meet this Thursday from 3:30 to 4:30.

2)  The chamber ensemble videos are done and are being put together into a concert video now.  We are proud of how the students put so much work into this project.  We already challenge them enough with this ensemble concert by having them pick their own music and rehearse their groups without a director.  But the added challenge of making their own video for a virtual performance brought out even more creativity!  A lot of them learned about video editing, uploading files, and online storage during this process, not to mention the process of organizing a video shoot.  Great job on this project, SGC Band!  Now for the concert video date and time....

3)  Set your calendar for this Thursday at 7 pm to watch the premiere of the 2021 SGC Band Chamber Ensemble Concert on YouTube.  The link will be posted Thursday and will go live at 7 pm.  After that, it will be available any time for viewing on YouTube.
