Patrick Marsh Middle School Band
January 2-7, 2022
Welcome Back!
Let's start off this new year with a great week of learning in lessons and band! We will also have Jazz Band on Tuesday and Thursday morning as well as Panther Pep Band on Friday, from 3-4 pm.
Important Pep Band Information
Our PMMS "Panther Pep Band" will participate in the Epoch Sound Pep Band Night at the High School on Jan. 13. This is the roster of the students who are interested in going. If your child's name is highlighted it means we need a permission slip completed (I have hard copies at school). Also, if you haven't already done so, please send $5 with your child to school for pizza.
IF your child's name is not on the list and wants to join OR they are on the list and no longer want to participate please let me know ASAP!
Our next rehearsal is this Friday from 3-4 pm. Attendance at this rehearsal will be very important so we are prepared for next week's performance. If you child cannot attend please let Mr. Gleason know.
Be sure to look through the Jan 13 details below for full information about this event.
**Please note-transportation home from SPHS is the student's responsibility and the HS athletic department has requested that anyone wishing to stay for the game purchase a ticket at the door after we play.
6th and 7th Grade Solo Night Performance Schedule Now Ready
Performance times have now been set for our 6th and 7th Grade Solo Nights (click button below to find your child's time). ALL 6th and 7th grade students have been assigned a time including those planning to do the WSMA Festival on Feb 12.
PLEASE NOTE:
- We highly recommend this experience for all students as it provides a wonderful opportunity to perform as a soloist and to receive feedback from another music educator. If, however, your child cannot attend the solo night please let us know so we take them off the schedule.
- 6th and 7th Grade Percussion students will only perform at the 6th grade solo night on Monday, Jan 24.
- If your child's performance time does not work, please let us know and we will do what we can to move or exchange performance times. If possible, please only request a time change if absolutely necessary. Thank you for your flexibility.
