Lisle Junior High Band Notes
October 30, 2015
Veteran's Day Concert
We would love to have current and former members of our nation's armed services in attendance. Please spread the word to any family members and friends for what promises to be a great night of music.
Winter Concert
Solo and Ensemble Contest
On Saturday, February 20th, all junior high band students will be performing at the IGSMA Solo and Ensemble Festival. It is tradition here at Lisle Junior High that every 6th-8th Grade student performs a solo at this festival. In the coming weeks before Thanksgiving, students will choose a solo to begin preparing. Small-group lessons in the months of January and February will primarily be to prepare the students on their solos. Mr. Schraub and Mrs. Kiener strongly believe that this festival is one of the most important parts of the students’ musical education here at Lisle. By preparing a solo, the students will vastly improve their technique on their instruments and, in turn, our band as a whole will rapidly improve. Much more detailed information will be sent home in the coming weeks.
