Hi, hey, hello!
Wow, it's hard to believe that October is nearly here! Fall is definitely one of my favorite seasons and I'm truly thankful it is here personally! Just a few updates on this email, the most important being how the Fall Concert is going to look. Fall Concert While it was my hope to have this concert in person, I do not think that will be able to happen. Our plan is to record the fall concert on the evening of the 20th (which is the evening of the concert), create a video along with the high school bands and percussion ensembles performances, and then post the concert video to social media as well as email on Wednesday, Oct. 21 at 7pm. It is also worth mentioning that, due to the hybrid schedule, the bands aren't able to rehearse together. I planned the recording evening around this fact. Please see the schedule below: 6pm - 6th grade band rehearses at Civic Memorial High School (at the football field) 6:30pm - 6th grade band records (dismissed after successful recording) 7pm - 7th/8th grade band rehearses at Civic Memorial High School (at the football field) 7:30pm - 7th/8th grade band records (dismissed after successful recording) The students have been working hard on their musicianship skills and we cannot wait to share them with you all! Concert Dress We utilize all black concert clothes for our concerts. Specifics can be found in the Band Handbook. Please ensure that your child is wearing all black concert clothing on our recording night. It's about the presentation at this point, especially in a video! Grades Due to the hybrid schedule and the amount of change we are all facing at this point in time, I have adjusted my grading policy accordingly. I will accept all late grades with no penalty up until the end of the first quarter (October 16). After that point, I will not accept any late grades for the first quarter. As long as we are on the hybrid schedule, I will follow this policy. So, for the second quarter, it will work the same way. I hope this policy helps your child continue to adjust to the changes we are all dealing with right now. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to email me!
