A MESSAGE FROM MR. LUCITA
Welcome to the last official week of Summer Band. This week we will have no in-person rehearsals. Color Guard, please be on the lookout for information specific to you for this week's schedule! It is important that each of you review everything we have learned thus far and to continue to close the gap between your levels of music and marching. Focus on the warm-ups, playing out with a full sound (Remember, we will be performing outside, and the audience is further away.), and, lastly, work the Fight-Song, School-Song and the music for “JOHNSON: This Is Us!”
This week we WILL continue on-line instruction! The section leader classes will be your time to review the marching technique, share what you’ve learned during summer band and continue to build memories and strengthen the bond of your section! Also, this week we will continue our Masterclasses. These are extremely important as they are one of the few opportunities where you have a professional performer, of your specific instrument, working with just your section! What you receive there is incredibly valuable! Every student in the Johnson Band should be attending the Level 1 Master Classes to receive instruction for advancing fundamental techniques of their instrument and working towards the highest level of performance of our warm-ups, “JOHNSON: This Is Us!”, and the other music to be performed at games and events! Those students intending to audition for the Texas Region, Area and All State Bands should be attending the Level 2 classes (in addition to level 1).
Please keep a close eye on the Johnson Band Calendar for dates and times of events that involve our band program and it’s students! Our regular rehearsal schedule is Mondays & Thursdays after school, 5 - 8 p.m. for all Marching Band students. Also, Johnson is Varsity this year and Football Games are Fridays. We will send detailed information concerning each football game schedule as those event arrive! The very best thing to do is to sync your device with the band's calendar so you can easily keep track of dates and times.
We want to close by saying how proud we are of all of you and the job you have done this Summer Band! You have worked extremely hard to overcome the obstacles that have been placed in your path, and your commitment and determination to success are incredible!! We know that this is going to be an awesome year because that is who we are and what we do!
JOHNSON: This Is Us!
Have a great week!
Mr. Lucita
