Getting Rolling...

All of our band students are settling into their routines, and it is great to see the music taking shape and progress being made. Please take a moment to talk with your student and make sure that they have everything they need for band class, including books, music, instrument accessories, reeds, and a 3 ring binder with 5 section dividers. It is important that students learn to organize the many components we have going on on band on a daily basis. You should also see and/or hear students practicing everyday, and asking you to sign their practice records each week. The sixth grade practice record is pink, and the 7/8th grade one is purple. Next week we will be starting our practice journal entries as well.

Every Wednesday is also a music theory day. Students should be bringing their Alfred Theory books to class on Wednesdays, and will have homework to turn in on Fridays.

Don't forget about the 8th grade performance with the OPRF Marching Band this Friday, Sept. 14!! Students will walk from Brooks to OPRF at 3:30 p.m. and will be dismissed after halftime. Wear your blue and orange to support our team!!
