Hi, hey, hello!
Congratulations to our TMS bands for performing at their spring concert last Thursday. I thought the concert went so well and I'm so thankful that the students were able to perform live for the first time this school year! Well done, bands! Please read the following information carefully in regards to the end of the school year in our band class! 6th Grade Students & Parents Please read the following information. Students do not need to bring their instruments next week; after tomorrow, we will not be playing anymore. They should bring their bell covers (washed please!) to school next week and turn them in to me during class. If your child has lost or misplaced the bell cover, please turn in $10 instead. Let me know if you have any questions about this! Next year, 6th-grade students will be joining the 7th/8th-grade band. This is so exciting because it allows them to learn from students who have one more year of experience playing. I highly recommend the following camps for some extended learning throughout the summer: SIUE Band Camp - CLICK HERE McKendree Band Camp - CLICK HERE 7th/8th Grade Students & Parents Please read the following information BIG CHANGE! Unfortunately, some of our students were unable to perform at the concert last Thursday due to being quarantined. To give them the opportunity to perform the music they have been working on, we are going to record our three spring concert pieces on Friday, May 21st during 1st hour. 2nd-hour band students will be excused from their 1st hour to attend. This is a remote Friday for most students, but all 7th/8th-grade band students will be allowed to come to school on this date. We will record the pieces in the Trimpe gym and the video will be shared out to all once it's done being edited. Students will attend all their classes in person this Friday and those students that need to take the bus will be provided bus transportation, just like any other day. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about this. Because of this change, students should bring their instruments on Tuesday next week, but DO NOT need to bring them on Monday. After Friday, May 21st, please wash the bell covers (if your child received one) and send them in with your child on Monday, May 24 to turn in to me. If your child has lost their bell cover or damaged it, please send in $10. Let me know if you have any questions! I highly recommend the following camps for some extended learning throughout the summer: SIUE Band Camp - CLICK HERE McKendree Band Camp - CLICK HERE 8th Graders Signed Up for High School Band Please ALSO read this information.
