Hi, hey, hello!
Update about Monday evening rehearsals The times have altered slightly for these rehearsals. A-K is the same time (5pm-6:15pm), but L-Z has been moved up by 15 minutes to adjust to the sun setting earlier. L-Z times are 6:30pm-7:45pm starting TOMORROW EVENING! Fall Concert Our fall concert is currently scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 20 at 7pm. The plan for this concert is to record and post it Wednesday, October 21 at 7pm. The recording schedule is as follows: October 15 - Percussion Ensemble recording (during regular percussion ensemble times) October 19 - CM Band recording (during regular evening rehearsal) October 20 - TMS Band recording (staggered start times) On recording evenings, you should wear CONCERT BLACK clothing. Specifics can be found in the Band Handbook, but concert black means ONLY black clothing and NICE black clothing at that. Remember, your marching shoes are PERFECT for concert black. :) Your presence will NOT be needed on Tuesday, October 20 unless you would like to receive extra credit by helping me with the middle school recording session. I'll talk more about this in class. Football Schedule While we are unsure as to what the band's participation is for the football games in the spring, please put the following dates in your schedule for band and avoid scheduling events on these dates. Typically, call time for the event is 5pm with dismissal around 9pm. - Friday, March 12 (Football vs. Triad) - Friday, March 19 (Football vs. Waterloo) - Friday, April 2 (Football vs. Jerseyville)* - Friday, April 16 (Football vs. Collinsville) * It has been brought to my attention that this is the week of Spring Break. Please do not let this football game deter your spring break plans since I'm not sure what our participation will look like at this point. Plan for what you would typically plan on a spring break, and then please let me know if you cannot make it to this game. Yard Signs & Decals My apologies on not getting this sent home last week. They will be sent home TOMORROW EVENING with your child! Grading & Remote Assignments - Nothing new, just a reminder! All assignments from Friday-Thursday will be due on Thursday by 11:59pm. I'm hoping this gives you a little bit of flexibility during your school week as we continue to navigate the hybrid schedule together. I also wanted to touch base on late work: I will accept ALL late work with no penalty every quarter. Again, flexibility is the name of the game this year. That being said, I want to make sure you're clear of the following: 1. If you turn in an assignment late, I will grade it and update grades whenever I can. This might mean that the grade isn't updated instantly. That's the cost of turning in late work. 2. Work due in one quarter, but turned in after the quarter, will not be accepted. While giving you all this opportunity, I also want to encourage you to ALWAYS turn in your work on time. While each teacher is different in this, when you enter the adult life, due dates aren't recommendations, they are requirements. If you're late on a bill payment, the consequence is a late fee. If you continue to be late, the consequence could be your power being shut off, phone being disconnected, etc. I'm being flexible because I care about you all, but the person in charge of your phone bill will not feel the same way. Sight Reading Factory - $2 If you haven't paid this $2, please do so this week. I'm missing this from a few individuals. If you cannot pay this fee this week, please send me an email letting me know. Percussion Rehearsal Times L-Z students will always have percussion rehearsal from 3-4:30pm and A-K students will always have percussion rehearsal from 5-6:30pm on Thursdays. Consider this change permanent! --- What do I need in class this week? 1. Instrument & Accessories 2. Music 3. Pencil Remember, take your instruments home EVERY DAY you bring it to school!
