Announcements for the week
Congratulations to the students on an outstanding week with auditions and concerts!
Your performances Friday night were stunning! Be on the lookout this week for our recordings to be posted on the band website, under student resources.
Coming up this week we have our semester placement auditions on Monday and Tuesday. Auditions will consist of a 30 second cut from each etude and a 30 second sight reading. The cuts and sight reading will be given to you once you enter the audition room. Good Luck!
As we plan for winter break, please keep in mind your travel plans and time for you to practice your instrument.
We are looking forward to a great week ahead!
Color Guard
What a wonderful week both winter guard groups have had. They are learning a lot of material and staging quite quickly, have a great rehearsal etiquette, and continue to improve at a rapid pace.
Congratulations to the Wakeland Band, Percussionists, and Directors on their brilliant performances this past Friday! The Color Guard enjoyed the evening of music.
Our week at a glance:
- Rehearsals:
- Varsity (MW, 6pm-9pm)
- JV (TR, 6pm-9pm),
- Saturday (JV 11am-2pm, Varsity 2:30pm-5pm)
- Class**: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
- Performances: None
- Additional: Show Shirt Orders Close on Friday (12/14)
For this week, I have asked for JV class to begin during Advisory (12:15pm to 1:20pm), and for Varsity to attend at the normal time (1:20pm-2:20pm). After JV's rehearsal, they will have opportunity to change and have study hall, then attend D-Lunch. The more individualized attention will be great for both groups!
This Friday, orders for the 2019 JV and Varsity shirts will be closed! If you are interested in purchasing a shirt, please complete the Google Form link below. Pricing information is $17 (S-XL) and $20 (2XL-4XL).
Sign-Up's for lessons with our staff members can be found on the front page of the Color Guard Website. All students are encouraged to take a lesson for their own individual needs, whether it be technique or choreography.
Lastly, please do not forget about our final Saturday rehearsal at the end of this week; JV from 11am to 2pm, and Varsity from 2:30pm to 5pm.
Only two weeks until winter break begins! Thank you to our cast for your hard work, and for our parents for your support.
Let's have a great week!
