We've made it through Quarter 1! Thank you so much to everybody as we've learned together during this first marking period! All students will be receiving an updated syllabus for Quarter 2 this week.
6th Grade Our first concert of the year will be December 10 at 7PM in the Hart Gym. Mark your calendars and invite your family and friends! Every student plays an important role in our bands and is vital to the success of the overall performance so please make sure your student will be there! 7th Grade Polo orders will come home with students on Monday and will be due by FRIDAY! An additional apparel order will be done in a few weeks, but to make sure we have our shirts in time for the performance, we need to complete an order quickly. Polos are $14. Students who choose not to purchase a band polo need to make sure they have a similar black polo for our performance. And don't forget to keep practicing to prepare for our concert! 8th Grade No big announcements this week other than to keep practicing for our December 3 concert! Can you believe the end of the first marking period is already here? It's flown by and the students should be really proud of all of the progress they've made!
Please remember that the final date to turn in assignments is November 12. Any students having continued technical issues NEEDS to speak with their teacher to straighten out any final problems before the quarter ends. 6th Grade The 6th Grade classes got their first try at running their December concert music through this week. These same students were just learning to put their instruments together two months ago and now they're playing full sheet music! Ask your student to demonstrate their latest skills for you and make sure your calendar is marked for our December 10 concert! 7th Grade Our new shirt design is being finalized and order forms should be coming home with students on November 16. Students have one last assignment due for the marking period today (listening assignment) and need to check to make sure they are not missing any additional work. Students should email Mrs. R-O if they submit any late or re-done assignments. Make sure our December 3 concert is on the Calendar! 8th Grade Our music is really coming along, but this week's run through revealed a need for some personal attention to a few parts. Please encourage your student to bring their instrument home and play for you. It'll be a great preview for our performance on December 3! All Google Classroom assignments are due by this Thursday, including a listening assignment that is due today. As always, email Mrs. R-O when submitting any late or re-done work. It's been a wacky one with all of the awesome Spirit Week activities, but we made it and had a lot of fun! Check out one of our social media feeds for some pictures from Friday! The end of the marking period is November 12. ALL STUDENT WORK MUST BE SUBMITTED BY THIS DATE TO EARN CREDIT FOR QUARTER ONE. If a student is still having technology issues, they need to speak with their teacher to work problems out. Any student submitting late or re-done assignments should be emailing their teacher to let them know to look for their work. We've discovered a new FREE tuning app! Students should check out Bandmate! It can be used on any device and our brass players have found it particularly helpful as it shows what note they're playing and where it is on the staff. 6th Grade The line Slurs and Dots was due on Friday from all 6th Grade classes and their next practice reflection is due on Monday. Make sure your calendars are marked for our December 10 concert! 7th Grade All students have a new listening assignment in Google Classroom that is due by next weekend. We've also picked a new shirt design! Once we get some mock-ups on what it will look like on a shirt, then we'll make the final call and orders will go out. It's going to come up fast now that we've hit November, so make sure you've got our December 3 concert on your calendar! 8th Grade Students did a great job at the pep assembly on Friday! It was a lot of fun and people had nothing but wonderful things to say about how awesome they sounded! A new listening assignment has also been posted for all 8th Grade students. It's going to come up fast now that we've hit November, so make sure you've got our December 3 concert on your calendar! |
