Band Notes: Week 24
January 22 - 25
A Note From Your Directors
There is a very important google form we need EVERYONE to fill out! This will help us in planning for private lessons.
Our Interskate social trip is this Friday and then make sure to mark your calendars on January 29th for our first spirit night of 2019 at Palios Pizza off of Eldorado!
Lastly, we are coming down to the final 2 weeks of solo contest prep for our advanced band students. You should be hearing your student practice their solo everyday to ensure their success at solo contest on February 1st.
As always, if you have any additional questions then please reach out.
-Mr. Wood, Ms. Hoffman, & Mr. Seymour
Private Lessons Info Form
Just as there are private lessons for sports, there are also private lessons for band!
Please fill out this Google Form by clicking HERE so we may better serve our students for private lessons. Private lessons do not just serve as additional "tutorials" for students who need help but ALSO as a Pre-AP-like enrichment for those students who need/want the additional challenge on their instrument.
The private lessons are taught by professionals on these instruments. All of the instructors are FISD approved instructors and have gone through the necessary background checks to be able to work with our students.
Private lessons are $20 per week and there is financial assistance available to those who qualify. We do not want money to be a reason a hard-working student is not enrolled in private lessons.
Should you have more questions, please reply to this email after you have filled out the form.
