February 28, Band Festival Dates (7 and 8 ONLY) TBD March 25 All-City Band (7th ONLY) 7:00 March 27 Detroit/Toledo Trip (participating 7th and 8th ONLY) all day Next week is a BIG one for all bands! Please read on to make sure you've got all the latest information! 6th and 7th Grade Pre Festival Concert Please read here for an UPDATED timeline for Tuesday night. 6th Graders should dress nicely, 7th Graders should wear their band polo. Band Festival Students will wear their polo, black pants, black socks, and black shoes. Please remind your student that their shirt needs to be tucked in as well. We are still in need of at least one parent with an approved iCHAT to ride a bus to and from Festival with the 7th Graders and one parent to ride the bus with the 8th Grade to Avondale. If you are available, please contact Mrs. R-O ASAP. Permission slips are due by MONDAY. Extra copies, which also include our timelines for that evening, can be found under the Important Documents tab. Reeds We've seen some pretty hairy reeds lately (some far more literally than you'd like to imagine!). Your student should be rotating several reeds throughout the week and reeds being rotated should not be used longer than a few weeks. One reed being played daily shouldn't be used more than two weeks and many students often cannot even remember when they changed it last! Not only does this impact their tone quality and sound production but reeds can be a prime breeding ground for a lot of nasty germs. Quality reeds can be ordered from any of our local companies and delivered right to school. There are also hard copy order forms available in the band room. 8th Grade Trumpet Mutes Our Festival music calls for all trumpets to play with straight mutes. We do have a few school owned ones, but students should please consider purchasing their own as it is a standard piece of equipment for trumpet players and will be used throughout their playing career. Vacchiano straight trumpet mutes can be ordered using the form kept in the band room or by calling any of our local vendors. Detroit/Toledo Attendees Students and chaperones attending our Detroit/Toledo trip in late March need to please fill out this form regarding dietary needs. A rehearsal schedule for will be shared soon for 7th and 8th graders going on the trip to prepare for our clinic at the University of Toledo.
