Weekly Update

 Weekly Update:  

High School Marching Band:

1.  Every band member will be permitted 2 tickets for home football games.  We need to know BY 3 PM this coming Monday "exactly" how many tickets each band member is requesting.  Most will be done during 9th period band today (Thursday) but some will be through e-mail.  This cannot wait until Monday evening band practice!

2.  The band is looking at various festivals and competitions in which to participate.  Mount Vernon is attempting to put one together for Saturday evening, September 26th so please do not schedule work or other at that time!  The other will be our annual "Ice Cream Social".  The date we're looking at for that is Monday evening, September 28th at 7:00 PM. on our Varsity Field.  Parents WILL be able to attend that.  We will ask for a donation upon entering the gates. We'll also be recording that performance and sending it to the USBands Competition Circuit for adjudication, ratings and scores from their panel of judges.

Middle School Bands:  (IMPORTANT STUFF!)

1.  6th Graders should remember that they are responsible for having a method book in band class.  Many students are not prepared with one and I'm wondering how they're able to practice their lessons or participate successfully without one!  We've gone ahead and ordered books for those students and they should receive them early next week.  We will need to be reimbursed for the amount of $10 (Checks payable to Centerburg Middle School).

2.  Google Classroom Assignments:  Each and every week we post new playing assignments for the 6th, 7th and 8th grade bands.  We also attach instructional videos to the assignments and suggest students view them AND communicate back and forth if they need extra help!  Each and every Friday completed assignments will be graded so if the assignment is not received an automatic ()%" will need to be placed in the the student's PowerSchool Grade Book.  When the assignment IS finally received then the grade will be adjusted accordingly!  "IF" a student is being home-schooled then this grade also serves as their attendance for the week.  

Good job so far everybody!   Keep up the good work!😎

Go Trojan Pride!
