Hello again parents! As we wind down this semester I would like to again take a second and reflect back on a successful and fun Marching Band Season. I want to commend and thank you all for your hard work and dedication to your child's musical success.
Next Thursday is our last day of school before Christmas break and I believe the kids are definitely looking forward to some real time off. Before they turn their brains off for three weeks we will be having our Christmas Concert Thursday night at 6:30 at Tulare Union Auditorium. The dress code for the night is all black and a Christmas tie for the boys if they have one. Please make sure the boys wear long black socks!!
Over the break I am assigning a four hour practice sheet for symphonic band players and Jazz Band members. This sheet will not be required for drumline or colorguard members since they will be practicing through the break. Please encourage your child to complete this assignment so that they get a jump start on symphonic season.
I am also asking for the symphonic band students to bring a 1 inch 3 ring binder, preferably black to school to store their music in. I will provide clear slip covers to put the music in. This will help them stay organized and prepared for class. I will be doing binder checks periodically throughout second semester to make sure they are keeping them up. I know some people might not have access to a binder, we will take care of those students as needed and make sure they are successful.
Thanks for your time, email me if you have any questions or concerns. Have a great Holiday!
