Upcoming Events:
December 20-7/8 Concert January 28-Solo and Ensemble for participating 7th and 8th students (times to be released mid-January) March 2 OR 3-Tentative Band Festival Dates (more info coming in late January) 6th Grade Performance and Living Room Concert THANK YOU so much to the awesome audience who came out to support our beginning band students! We had a blast performing for everyone! Over Break, students should be perfoming their Living Room concert for family. The instructions and evaluation form have been posted in Google Classroom. 7/8 Concert Due to last week's snow day, our concert has been rescheduled to this coming Tuesday at 7PM at Stoney Creek. Students should arrive by 6:30 dressed in their polo, black pants, socks, and shoes. Solo and Ensemble Students should all have music selected by this point. When we come back from break, I'll post available times for students to come get extra help after school. Students are also highly encouraged to see additional help from a SCHS tutor to prepare. Times will be released by MSBOA around mid-January. Band Festival I requested March 2 or March 3 for our Festival performances for the 7th and 8th Grade Bands. Specifics from MSBOA should come out late in January and will be posted as soon as they are available. Please encourage your students to work on their Festival music at home! It's going to come up quickly and both grades are working on challenging pieces. Instrument Care Students should remember to please take instruments home and inside the house on weekends and our upcoming Break. Extreme cold can do serious damage to instruments, especially woodwinds. Additionally, students should be regularly alternating reeds and occasionally cleaning out their mouthpieces with soap and warm (not boiling!) water. Reeds that are chipped and broken can cause a lot of frustration for students as they play. Flute players can wipe down their lip plate with an alcohol swab and to avoid getting water in the headjoint.

The 7th and 8th Grade Concert has been rescheduled for 7PM on December 20 at Stoney Creek. Keep your fingers crossed that the weather is more cooperative this time! We'd love to play our Holiday music BEFORE the Holidays! Due to the snow day, we will not be having our concert on Monday, Dec 12. As soon as information on a rescheduled date is available, it will be posted! Stay safe and enjoy the day!
