Hi, hey, hello!
I hope everyone enjoys the three day weekend! 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. Remote Assignments - Change of Plans Instead of assignments being due the day of remote learning, they will be due on Thursday evening, 11:59. For instance, if you are an A in-person learner, your assignments for Friday, Tuesday and Thursday will be due on Thursday evening at 11:59pm. If you are B in-person learner, your assignments for Friday, Monday and Wednesday will be due on Thursday evening at 11:59pm. This change is to help you! In case you have a lot of work for your other classes on a remote day, you can adjust band work accordingly. Due to this assignment due date change, all assignments will be posted on Mondays and Wednesdays, except the Friday assignment which will be posted on Friday. Halloween Parade Update Nurse Karen reached out to me last week to share that the Halloween Parade for Bethalto has been cancelled for this school year. I'm sorry to share this because I know the Halloween Parade is always a wonderful and fun evening for our band students. Disney Update The original plan for Disney was to kick this trip off back in late March so students had a full year to fundraise. This is an expensive trip, even with care taken to bring the cost down. Due to losing that fundraising time as well as the ever-changing situation we are in with COVID-19, it is the best decision to cancel this trip for the spring of 2020 and work on rescheduling this for another time. I know some of you may have questions - please send them my way and I will attempt to answer them as I can. Monday Evening Rehearsals - Full Band As a reminder, Monday evening rehearsals are required as a grade: 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. 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). --- What do I need in class this week? 1. Instrument & instrument accessories 2. Music 3. Pencil Remember, take your instrument home EVERY DAY you bring it to school! You will need it for remote day assignments. What is the plan for in-person class this week due to Monday being off for Labor Day? Due to Labor Day, this week for band will be adjusted as follows: Tuesday - A-K last names remote assignment, L-Z in-person rehearsal (picture day) Wednesday - A-K in-person rehearsal (picture day), L-Z last names remote assignment Thursday - A-K last names remote assignment, L-Z in-person rehearsal Friday - A-K off day (no assignment), L-Z last names remote assignment This is to keep everyone on the same page for assignments. -- September Schedule Week of September 7 Monday, September 7 - No School!
