20/21 WoodCreek Band Bulletin
Vol. 1, Issue 1, August 21, 2020
It was so great to see everyone this week! We will continue with daily Zoom meetings next week using the same links, however, the passcodes have changed. Please check the "Announcements" section of Canvas for the new passcode on Monday if you need it.
For Honors, Symphonic, and Concert Band members, we'd like to begin playing our instruments during Zoom meetings ASAP, however, we are noticing that many students are Zooming from a location or situation that is not conducive to instrumental music-making. We'd still like all students to join the Zoom meetings so that they can get the information regardless of their physical surroundings. We will work out solutions for students on a case-by-base basis and appreciate your patience as we adjust to virtual learning. If you're able to, please have your instruments assembled and ready at the start of your Zoom classes on Monday, August 24!
Our bulletin is broken into three main sections: Introduction and Announcements pertaining to all students, First-Year Band Announcements (primarily 6th grade students who have not yet completed their first year of instrumental instruction in the WCJH Band Program) and Performing Bands Announcements (primarily 7th-8th grade students who have completed at least one year of instrumental instruction).
Thank you,
Bryan Cremer
Asst. Band Director
