CALENDAR

Fall Break PROTOCOL – It has always been my policy not to require student participation during commonly recognized holidays or school calendar breaks. Therefore, as before, we will not have rehearsals during the week of Fall break.
However, we strive to support the school, football team, and community at the varsity football game during Fall break, October 9th at home versus Athens.
Any student who is out of town and unavailable will not be penalized. Any student who is in town is asked to come and support our performance. It will be a bonus 100 point test grade.
We will meet on our field at 5:00 to take roll, warm-up, and coordinate how we’ll do things. During half-time, we may perform show music from the stands if too many students are missing.
Greetings 8th grade band students and parents!
We invite all 8th grade band students to come participate in the the audition clinics listed below. Our veteran student members will be participating and we are all very excited to welcome you/your students to the high school band family!
I am very glad that we will be able to do these clinics this year after having to cancel everything last year. Students will be masked and spaced throughout.
These clinics are very important, required for membership, but also very fun and low pressure!
*Students should make plans to attend all clinic dates and times but if you have a legitimate conflict, please reach out to coordinate with me, so I can ensure all students are fairly and equally instructed and assessed.
All audition clinics will be group-oriented and instructionally-based while serving to help the staff and me make important determinations. Students should initially come to the high school band room but clinics will be held between the band room, cafeteria, and possibly outside.
*Students should wear comfortable athletic clothing – shorts, t-shirt, tennis shoes. We encourage bringing a water bottle but not required.
Color Guard Audition Clinics:
Our color guard students will be coming to all BMS P.E. classes the week after next to demonstrate and teach some basic flag techniques to those who may be interested in joining our visual ensemble – Color Guard!
Tuesdays/Thursdays: April 27, 29; May 4, 6 – 3:45-5:30 each day – Official audition May 7 @ 4-6

ALL Jazz Band and Concert Band students/parents, please read all of the following concerning the SPRING CONCERT:
This Thursday, May 20th at 7:00 is our Spring Concert at The Rock Family Worship Center’s “Dream Theatre” (enter from Holmes Avenue). We are putting final touches on the program this week – students really need to avoid missing class this week if at all possible.
DETAILS FOR STUDENTS:
On Thursday, student call time is no later than 5:00 ON STAGE, FULLY DRESSED in concert attire so we can begin sound/visual checks working backward through the program, to finish by 6:30. Don’t be late to call time and don’t walk in half-dressed.
*I am looking for student volunteers who have the ability to arrive by 4:30-4:45 to help get chairs and stands set by 5 for the full ensemble.
CHECK YOUR CONCERT ATTIRE NOW. Parents, please ensure your student’s attire is mended correctly (pant/dress length – not bunched up at the foot), and that gentlemen wear a solid white undershirt and TALL BLACK SOCKS with their tux. Ladies need closed-toed solid black flats or low heels. All hair must be neatly pulled back.
*Your dress and “look” reflects you, your family, your section, & our band, in that order. Please do your best to help us be “uniform”. It matters.
