The band kids are getting back into the swing of things by bringing their instruments, books and binders to class every day. Hopefully you are noticing those lovely sounds through your homes as our students are starting to practice again. Families should be on the lookout for a yellow cardstock chart which is our Practice Records students use to keep track of their practice times at home.
HOMEWORK/WHAT'S DUE?
Practice Records:
Students are to keep track of Week 3 practice times and turn them into Mr. Barnard on Monday 9/13. Normally practice records are collected on every Monday. Students must have a parent/guardian signature on the practice records to verify their child's practice minutes. Practice records that are turned in without a parent signature will not receive credit.
6th Graders: The goal this week is 120 minutes for A.
7th/8th Graders: 150 minutes for A.
Music Theory:
Music Theory will start next week on Wednesday, 9/15. Music theory lessons are usually done on Wednesdays and all music theory assignments are due by each Friday. All students should have the following books for music theory:
6th Gr. Alfred Essentials of Music Theory, Bk 1
7th/8th Gr. Alfred Essentials of Music Theory, Bk 2
Jazz Program:
Students interested in auditioning for our 7th/8th grade Jazz Ensemble or participate in our Jazz Lab Band must pick up a permission slip and have it turned in prior to auditioning/participating.
