I hope everyone had a great weekend! We are not uploading anything this week, but continue to work on pep tunes and scales.
AUDITION MATERIALS
- 7th graders will get their audition music soon- keep working on scales in the meantime.

Memorial High School Audition Information
HERE IS THE LINK to find information for the 2020-2021 Memorial High School Band Audition. Submission deadline for all students will be Friday, May 1 in Google Classroom.

Frisco High School Audition Information
Frisco Band Auditions for the 2020-21 school year- recorded submissions to be uploaded between May 10 and May 15: Brass and Woodwind students, click here to download and print/save your audition scales and etudes! (Note: PERCUSSION students will be receiving materials and completing their audition at a later date). The audition packet cover page has instructions for uploading your recordings. The BEST way for students to prepare for their audition is through private lessons with their lessons teacher- many teachers are still teaching remotely during social distancing. If your student was not already enrolled in private lessons, we invite them to get a head start with the teacher for their instrument at FHS. Contact Mr. Simon for information (simond@friscoisd.org).
Pep Rally
In May we are going to start looking at pep tunes! The best way to access them is at THIS LINK. Note that there are a lot of folders and music options. The easiest way to get to YOUR music is by choosing the pdf with your instrument (large). The primary focus in may will be Spiderman, Go Northwestern Go (our fight song) and the Hey song. Beginning Band can also look at Crunch Time- which was added to the packet later so it can be found at THIS LINK. Don't worry too much about this music- this is just for fun right now!
