Wilson's Creek Band Notes
Jan 10, 2022
Message from Mr. ZInecker
Dear Parents, Students, and Families,
We've made it to the half-way point and are looking forward to a busy second half. The five note concert was a big success and progress is really obvious. The Spring Concert date will be changing so stay tuned in for a new date. There are two big additions to the band students' learning model this semester. See the sections below for more information on weekly practice logs and Band KARATE!
Seventh grade scheduling will be happening soon and I hope that your student will be signing up for the Cherokee Band! Mr. Thomas (Cherokee) and I teach the 250+ band students at CMS, grades 6-8. Seventh grade band at Cherokee focuses on continued individual growth and expanded performance and competitive opportunities for student musicians. Band does NOT conflict with other extra curricular activities such as sports and cheerleading. We have many band students involved in the many activities offered at Cherokee. Seventh grade band is divided into woodwinds and brass/percussion class so sign up for the appropriate section.
As always, thank you for supporting your student in their endeavors. If I can be of any help please contact me via email. Now, let's get practicing!
Sincerely,
Mr. Zinecker
