Symphonic Band Clinic
For UIL Symphonic Band will be performing "Shadow Rituals" by Michael Markowski. On Tuesday, February 19th the students have the opportunity to work with Mr. Markowski! The students will be released from their 4th-period class at 3:40 pm (Dr. Edge and the attendance office are aware) in order to prepare for rehearsal which will last from 4:00-5: 30 pm.
Percussion students will only join us for 4:15-5: 00 pm due to their clinician being in town. This rehearsal on Tuesday, February 19th will replace the rehearsal that was previously scheduled for February 28th.
Please email me senecaa@friscoisd.org if you have any questions or concerns. This is an exciting opportunity for the students and I can't wait for us to all get to meet Mr. Markowski!
