Hi, hey, hello!
THANK YOU so much to those who were able to attend our optional pep band game on Tuesday, AND our last-minute invite to the girl's senior night game on Thursday. I've received SO MANY notes of thanks from parents and faculty members about us being there. You truly are appreciated, CMHS Band! Homecoming Parade The band has been asked to perform in the Homecoming Parade at the end of March. Color guard is also invited to perform with us. I know this date may feel last minute, but I'm hoping it's early enough that we can all participate. This may be our only parade of the school year and I do feel like it's important for us to contribute to this annual school event. It also allows our community to see us perform live for the first time in a year! There has been an update to this schedule, please see below: Pre-Rehearsal: Monday, March 22 during 6th Hour. I will be sending an email out this week to teachers, but all wind ensemble students are invited to attend 6th hour on Monday, March 22. On this day, we will make our parade block and review marching. (Student Leaders - this has been changed to include the entire wind ensemble. Color Guard - this rehearsal will be just winds and percussion students.) Full Band/Guard Rehearsasl: Tuesday, March 23 from 1pm-3pm & Wednesday, March 24 from 1pm-3pm Date: Friday, March 26 Call Time: 2pm in the auditorium Parade Start: 2:50pm Parade Route: Starts on Stadium Drive, goes up Corbin St., and ends at Bethalto East. We will walk back to the school for wrap-up and dismissal. Dress for the parade will either be band polo OR another activity's dress (i.e. football jersey, tennis top, volleyball top, etc.) + black pants with marching shoes. Student Leader Interviews Student Leader interviews will be after the parade. Please see HERE for the student leader interview schedule. Here is what I recommend for interviews: dress your best! I know this is after the parade, but there is time to change into business casual clothing. Think about the impression you want to have on those that are interviewing you. Percussion Rehearsals Week 2 of percussion clinics! CLICK HERE for the full percussion schedule. Students should plan on attending the entire scheduled rehearsal. When students audition, they will prepare one of the selections that Alex has chosen. Important Note: Just because you audition for battery does not mean you will be placed in battery. Just because you auditioned for front ensemble does not mean you will be placed in front ensemble. You will be placed on an instrument and in a section that works for the group as a whole. This isn't personal - it's what's best for the band! Interest for Disney in March of 2022 Band and choir has been approved to ask parents/students who would be interested in going to Florida in March of 2022. At this point, we are just seeing interest. There is no guarantee this trip may occur. All current 8th-11th grade students signed up for band and/or choir, as well as color guard for the 2021-2022 school year, please fill out THIS FORM. PLEASE FILL OUT THIS FORM WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN GOING. ~~~ Updated March Schedule (as of March 14, 2021) Week of March 15 Monday, March 15 - Tri-M Board Meeting (12:45pm) Wednesday, March 17 - Tri-M Meeting (12:45pm) Thursday, March 18 - 2021 Percussion Clinic - Battery (4pm-5:30pm) - 2021 Percussion Clinic - Front Ensemble (5:30pm-7pm) Week of March 26 Monday, March 22 - CM Band Parade Rehearsal (6th Hour - Winds and Percussion ONLY) - Choir Cabaret Recording Tuesday, March 23 - Marching Eagles Rehearsal (1pm-3pm) - 2021 Drum Major Clinic (3pm-4pm) - 2021 Color Guard Clinic (4pm-6pm, Bethalto East) Wednesday, March 24 - Marching Eagles Rehearsal (1pm-3pm) - 2021 Color Guard Clinic (4pm-6pm, Bethalto East) Thursday, March 25 - 2021 Drum Major Clinic (3pm-4pm) - 2021 Percussion Auditions (4pm-7pm) - 2021 Color Guard Auditions (4pm-6pm, Bethalto East) Friday, March 26 - Homecoming Parade (2pm call, 2:50pm step off) - Student Leader Interviews (4pm-???) - Little Women the Musical (6pm - buy tickets HERE) Saturday, March 27 - Little Women the Musical (6pm - buy tickets HERE) Sunday, March 28 - Little Women the Musical (1pm - buy tickets HERE) March 29 - Monday, April 5 SPRING BREAK! ~~~ Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns!
