What's happening in band this week?
normal day
Wednesday
normal classes; 7th graders have full band rehearsal after school until 4:00
Thursday
normal classes; 7th grade may have full band during 6th hour (depends how Wednesday's after-school rehearsal goes)
AFTER SCHOOL--anyone who can stay and help move equipment would be greatly appreciated. We should be finished by 3:30.
CONCERT DETAILS
The warm-up will begin at 6:45 sharp. 7th grade will be in the high school band room; 8th grade will be in the high school choir room. The kids should wear their regular concert attire (band polos, black dress pants/skirt, dress shoes). Because the choirs are singing first, there will be a brief re-setting of the stage that will happen before the bands begin playing (around 7:15). After the performances are finished, all of the kids will need to help clear the stage and return the chairs and stands to the band room. All school-owned horns should be left in the band room. All personally owned instruments and all binders should go home with the kiddos--we will be finished playing for this year!
Friday
All school-owned horns & mouthpieces are due back to OTMS. If getting them to school this week will be an issue, please bring them to the concert Thursday night and drop them off in the high school band room.
MIXER DETAILS
Any 8th grade bando (who is continuing in band next year) is invited to attend the mixer after school. It will be held in the high school band room. The kids do not need to bring anything, although donations of chips and/or soda would be appreciated! The parent meeting will start at 6 pm in the band room and should last 30-45 minutes.
