March Schedule Changes

Hello all,

I am sorry to say I am going to need to make another adjustment to this weeks band schedule. Due to the various weather issues over the past few weeks I have a meeting that has been rescheduled for Thursday that I must attend. However, I figured this would provide me an opportunity to provide a bit of extra instruction to our Wind players who have missed two weeks due to weather/Confirmation. This weeks plan will go as follows

All trumpet/trombone lessons with Jamal will remain Thursday 3:20 to 3:50 for beginners and  3:50 to 4:20 for intermediates. 

All WIND ENSEMBLE members (Clarinets, Saxophones, Trumpets, Trombones,Bells) will meet FRIDAY from 3:20 to 4:20  this will give me a full hour of ensemble to work with the band on a new song we will be performing for the spring concert. 

All WOOD WINDS/MALLETS (Clarinet, Saxophone, Bells) will have a sectional lesson from 4:20 to 4:50 on Friday. 

This plan gives everyone 1.5 hours of instruction this week, which will help make up for some of the time we have missed this feb/march.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. 

-Mr. Myers 

UPDATES TO SCHEDULE!

Just a few reminders/changes to the up coming schedule.

EAGLES Parade

Hello Everyone, 

Due to the overwhelming number of students expected to attend the EAGLES Parade we will be canceling Instrumental Music lessons tomorrow (Thursday 2/8/2018). We do plan to make this time up a bit closer to our spring concert with some additional dress rehearsal time or an extra Friday rehearsal. Please stay tuned for updates to the schedule moving forward. Thanks for your flexibility.
