The marking period ends next week. ALL band assignments must by submitted by October 28 to count for this marking period. Students who resubmit an assignment or turn one in late should email their teacher so that we know to look for it. Students who have issues with completing their assignments at home should make arrangements to use one of our available class devices here at school.
Date Correction Please adjust your calendars for the 7th/8th Grade Band Concert. I was mistaken on the one I sent home to start the year. Their concert is DECEMBER 15. I apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this caused! Google Classroom for ALL Grades If you want to keep up with posts in Google Classroom, parents can now get Guardian Summaries!

Just a short update this week!

Parents cannot be enrolled if their student has not yet joined their Google Classroom. Instrument Care Public Service Announcements With the weather growing colder, please remember to keep instruments out of extreme temperatures. Instruments left in cold cars overnight often have pads fall off, valves seize up, or wooden parts crack. Additionally, students should be swabbing out their woodwind instruments every time they play and brass player should always empty their water keys before putting instruments away. Germs love damp spaces, and with cold and flu season coming up, keeping instruments clean can help keep students healthy!

These lessons can be highly beneficial to all students, from struggling beginners, to students switching instruments, to those preparing for Solo and Ensemble.

End of 1st Marking Period All assignments must be submitted by October 28 to provide time to complete grading before the end of the marking period! Students who resubmit tests (which they can do as often as they like with NO penalty) should email their teacher so that we know to re-grade them. As always, it was a pleasure getting to meet with families this week at conferences and I'm looking forward to meeting with more at the next round. I know my line at conferences can be long, so if you ever have questions, please send an email!

All students are invited to purchase spirit wear! 7th graders need a band polo as that will be our uniform for all performances during 7th and 8th grade. If they choose not to order a polo, they will need a black polo to wear for concerts. This will be our only band apparel order for the year. Shirt orders are due no later than this WEDNESDAY! 6th Grade Students all had their first test due through Google Classroom last week. Please note that we do have a class set of iPads for students to use who do not have access to the technology needed to upload their assignments. All of their videos are an important way for us to check individual progress and provide feedback to students. Students who are having technology issues should contact Ms. Rever for help ASAP. 7th and 8th Grade Information regarding Solo and Ensemble went home this week as well. All 7th and 8th Graders are encouraged to try this event out! It's a great opportunity to perform for an expert on their instrument and get feedback to help them improve. Please note that the date for Solo and Ensemble is January 28 NOT January 14 as had been originally shared on our calendar. Registration forms and money are due no later than FRIDAY.

Playing Tests ALL students have their very first playing test due tomorrow, October 3. 6th Grade is turning in Hot Cross Buns and 7th/8th is turning in their Concert C scale. All tests are to be submitted through Google Classroom. If students are having technical struggles, they should let Ms. Rever know as soon as possible. Band Apparel Be on the lookout for band apparel order forms to come home with students this week! 7th Graders will need to purchase a polo for concerts, but all students are welcomed to buy some gear and show their Hart Band pride! End of Marking Period 1 ALL assignments must be submitted by October 28 to allow time to complete grading before the end of the marking period.
