Reynolds Band Fall Concert - October 21st 6:00pm (Symphonic Winds & Concert Band 1)
Wow! Can you believe it is October! and we have our first concert of the year. This concert is only for Symphonic Winds and Concert Band. The Fall Concert will be outside at the Reynolds Stadium. We ask that families wear masks and social distance in the stands. The students will be sitting down, social distanced, in chairs on the track performing for everyone. We would LOVE for all virtual students to perform with us too! Performing is what we prepare for and it is a huge reward for the students. Call time for students to be dropped off at the gate is 5:30 pm. The performance will begin at 6:00pm. Uniform is Band T-Shirt or Band Hoodie, long jeans and closed toed shoes.
There will be NO Beginning Band students performing at this concert, however we welcome ALL students to come and listen. See you there!!!!```
Beginning Band Practice Record is now YELLOW and 30 minutes each day
Beginners Weekly Practice Records
Practice Record Time has increased to 30 minutes each day for full credit. This is the only minute increase that we will do. 30 minutes is the average time to practice for muscle memory and retention of material to be learned.

Band Olympics for Beginning Band has started!!!!
Beginning Band Olympics have begun!!! This a wonderful way for students to be competitive and earn colored badges as they progress. Students will be recognized at the Spring Concert in May too!
Each selection can be found in your essential elements book or on pages given to you by your director. When practicing each line, set your metronome to 72 BPM. For the first semester, band Olympics will be performed individually and in small groups during class. As the year progresses and time allows, we will start to allow for Band Olympics to be performed independently for a band director. Once you have passed off the selection, stickers will be placed on the band hall sticker chart and the online spreadsheet. Once you have passed all of the selections in one level, you will become an Olympian of that color level and receive a zip tie, in the color that matches your pass off, to put on your instrument case handle. Olympians will be recognized at the end of the year.
