1) Welcome back! The snow gave us a couple of extra days to rest (and heal) up from the trip. Now it's time to jump into the Spring Semester. The dates for the semester have been entered into the Band app calendar, and there is also a hard copy in the Band room for anyone that needs it for work or other purposes.
2) Since Mr. Johnson is still going to be out until at least Tuesday and we likely will still be missing some students again, we have decided to postpone the chair placements until Wednesday/Thursday. We will review scales and practice sight-reading the next couple of days as well as selecting groups for the Ensemble concert in February.
3) Anyone interested in Jazz Band, we will meet afterschool Tuesday from 3:30 to 4:30 to introduce the ensemble, pick a weekly rehearsal day, and play through a couple of pieces of music. Anyone is welcome to attend and find out more about it.
4) Leadership team will have a special rehearsal this Thursday from 7-8 pm with the upcoming 8th graders. We are inviting them to the High School band room to get them a little more comfortable with us and the school before they register for classes later this month.
5) We are working concessions this Friday night at the Basketball game. I need 2-3 adults and 3-4 students to work. Get there by 4:45 if you can, but it's okay if you have to be a few minutes late. We usually get done with these games by 9 or 9:30. This is the only game we are working this year.
6) Any student interested in Memphis Honor Band needs to message Mr. Price by Monday morning. That nomination list needs to be in by Monday afternoon.
7) All West Auditions are this Saturday. Students will need to find a ride there and back. As soon as you are done auditioning you can go back home. Results will be given later that evening. We will go over procedures and other information this week during Focus time.
