Zoom Check-In
I hope everyone gets a chance to check in with me via Zoom!
Not many people have been taking advantage of the open zoom meeting so I have decided to go to appointment only meetings.

Pep Rally
In May we are going to start looking at pep tunes! The best way to access them is at THIS LINK. Note that there are a lot of folders and music options. The easiest way to get to YOUR music is by choosing the pdf with your instrument (large). The primary focus in may will be Spiderman, Go Northwestern Go (our fight song) and the Hey song. Beginning Band can also look at Crunch Time- which was added to the packet later so it can be found at THIS LINK Don't worry too much about this music- this is just for fun right now!
Scales
I would encourage all Honor Band Members to use this time to refresh your scales! We hope to come back and even though we don't know what music or performances will look like
