A MESSAGE FROM MR. LUCITA
Good Evening Parents and Students,
Our first week of Summer Band was outstanding! Our students did an incredible job of following all procedures that had been put in place for the safety of everyone. I want to tell everyone “Thank You” for making our first week such a great one. Let’s make week two even better!
I do want to address COVID as it is still a significant item in our daily lives. Although we never want to have anyone contract this virus, it is reassuring to see that, due to the policies and procedures we have in place, and the fact that our students are following them daily, all of our students are kept as safe as possible!! Kudos to them for their great work!
This week we will make a slight adjustment to our Master Class schedule for our students. In an effort to ensure the highest level of instruction and to maximize our musical results, we will break our Master Classes into two different levels. Students need to choose which Master Class they will attend. They only need to attend one of them, but they may attend both if they choose. A link to all master classes will be emailed shortly. Please be on the lookout!
Level 1 This master class will focus on technique and fundamentals
Level 2 This master class will focus on the Texas All State music
Make sure everyone checks the calendar and plans ahead. Summer band has two more weeks of in-person rehearsals followed by one week of Master Classes only. We will then start our regular after school rehearsals on Monday & Thursday! Let’s make this week even better than last week!
Let's have a great week!
Mr. Lucita
COVID-19 INFORMATION
SECTION LEADERS will distribute masks with resealable velcro slits this week for all wind players, except flute players. Each student who receives this type of mask will receive two. Percussion, Color Guard and Flutes will receive a second mask with no slit as soon as that order is delivered. All wind players that can use a bell cover should have received their bell covers by this time. It is each student's responsibility to label and keep track of their masks and bell covers and bring them to each in-person band rehearsal. Replacement masks and bell covers will need to be purchased. Replacements will be available on the band website store soon.
Please bookmark the link to the Jaguar Band Daily Covid-19 Screening Protocol form: https://www.johnsonbands.com/daily-covid-screening
Every time your student comes on campus for Summer Band
- Stop and confirm you completed the Daily COVID Screening with a band booster volunteer.
- Temperature check with a Director (these are 2 steps done by 2 different checks/computers/people)
