Hi, hey, hello!
The first full week of school went by SO QUICKLY! A few things I want to update everyone on: Remote Assignments There will be required assignments posted to GoogleClassroom on remote days for students to complete. All assignments are graded unless otherwise stated and are posted by 8am. If no assignments show up on GoogleClassroom, then there is NOT an assignment that day. Keep up on these assignments - if you don't, your grade could be impacted! Monday Evening Rehearsals - Full Band Since we are starting with concert band season instead of marching band seasons, rehearsals on Monday evenings have been altered to fit our new reality. Since we don't have all students on in-person learning days, Monday evening rehearsals are for each band (A-K band, L-Z band) to come together and get used to the other parts that exist in our fall concert music. Students agreed to the following schedule: 5pm-6:15pm - A-K band 6:45pm-8pm - L-Z band As it gets darker in the fall, the L-Z band time may change to 6:30pm-7:45pm. Please be aware of that. *Important Note - This week's Monday evening rehearsal has been CANCELLED. Again, Monday, August 31's rehearsals have been cancelled.* Band Handbook The band handbook E-signature form was due this past Friday. If you haven't already filled it out with your child, please CLICK HERE to do so. Thursday Evening Rehearsals - Percussion Only These rehearsals will alternate weekly. 3pm-4:30pm is the first time slot and 5pm-6:30pm is the second time slot. Always check the schedule to see which time you're coming (A-K is one group, L-Z is the other). Yard Sign & Decal Fundraiser All of our fundraisers are being evaluated due to COVID-19 and some are not going to be possible because of the situation. However, our yard sign fundraiser is still a go! If you're interested in ordering a yard sign or window decal to support our student musicians, CLICK HERE to fill out the form and send in payment by Thursday, September 10! We are planning on sending signs home the last week of September. Fine Arts Booster Meeting Kick-Off Our first Fine Arts Booster meeting is THIS TUESDAY, September 1 at 6pm in the CMHS Commons. This is a year of change for us all - please consider coming to this meeting to help support our fine arts programs! --- What do I need in class this week? 1. Instrument & instrument accessories 2.
