Weekly Update Week of March 13th-17th

March 13th - 17th

OMEA Large Group:  

Thank you all musicians, student helpers and music booster parents for making the weekend successful as usual!  The Choir received a II in class C, and the band received a III in class B, with a II in sight reading!!!  Every year we play more advanced music, and move a little more up the ladder.  We'll discuss the judges comments briefly in band and choir class!

6th, 7th and 8th Grade bands:  

This is the final week of the 3rd marking period and because of that no new musical examples will be due - only "make-up" examples!  PLEASE check your grades to see what you still owe me and be sure to perform them before Friday!  Any musical examples not completed need to become a 0% in the grade book.

High School Jazz Band:  ( WE WILL PRACTICE NEXT MONDAY  3/20 FROM 2-4 PM!)

Our first performance of the season will be on Sunday, March 26th at the OSU High School Jazz Band Day.  The bus will leave school at 8 AM and will return at 5 PM.  Bring some money for food!  We will continue to practice after school on Mondays and Wednesdays, and will have a couple practices during 9th period band - while the others are involved in sectionals!  PRACTICE YOUR STUFF!

Middle School Jazz Band:

Practices will continue on Thursday afternoons from 3:00 - 3:45 PM!

Disney Trip:  Please read and highlight your trip itinerary and rules!

HS Honors Band Class:  Please check your grades and be sure to "make-up" anything you still owe.  Your final project topics and project ideas were e-mailed to you last Friday.  Please speak to me if you have any questions about them!

Graduation Band AND Memorial Day Parade:

Please mark your calendars NOW so we avoid any conflict!  Graduation is slated for Sunday, May 21st.  ALL high school band members are expected to attend!  The Centerburg Memorial Day Parade is scheduled for Monday, May 29th!  This happens  an entire week after graduation.  SENIORS:  WE STILL NEED YOU FOR THIS!  If you have any concerns please let us know !

Annual Trojan Pride Marching Band Meeting:

This year's marching band information and organization meeting is scheduled for Thursday, May 18th at 7 PM in the CHS Auditorium.  Returning band members should pay their annual band expense payment of $75 at that time!  Other payments for items such as new band shoes or polo shirts may be accepted until the parade on Saturday, June 24th!  All new and returning band members must attend the meeting with at least one parent or guardian.  Thank you!


Go Trojan Pride!
