Winter Park Band Notes
February 20, 2017
From Mr. Blackmer
Dear Band Families,
Congratulations to the Concert Band, Symphonic Band, and Wind Ensemble on a terrific Pre-MPA performance this past Saturday afternoon! They are all in a position to do very well at MPA this coming March!
As I said at the concert, please take a moment to review over the itineraries for MPA found below. We are also in need of chaperones for all three bands! Contact Carla Shuman or sign-up through the Band Calendar if you can help out!
All the Best!
Mr. Blackmer
Concert MPA

If you can chaperone for Concert Band or Wind Ensemble MPA, please contact Carla Shuman.
An important part of MPA is listening to other groups' performances. Just as we would like a good audience for each of our performances, we want to show that courtesy and support to our fellow local Band programs. Because of this, each Band's MPA itinerary includes some listening before and after their individual performance.
If it is absolutely necessary to take a student from MPA early (following their performance), an e-mail needs to be sent to both Mr. Blackmer and Mr. Clemente at least one day prior.
