OUR BAND BOOSTERS ARE TRULY AMAZING!
THANKS TO OUR HARD WORKING/ AND SUPPORTIVE BAND BOOSTERS......
The final payment for the Band trip is now $150.00! This is truly outstanding! Make sure to have all trip fees (grand total $550.00 each) paid in full by March 1. Also, make sure to thank the Boosters at the next Band event! (Which happens to be our concert!)
OWN your part
Students should be practice the ENTIRE piece of music with recordings. Parents, if your student is not practicing at least 10 minutes a day in order to improve their musicianship and succeed! And we all want our students to be successful! Students should take ownership over their parts and be able to contribute to the entire ensemble. We all want to sound good...don't we?
Charms Practice Logs are back!
That's right, with the beginning of the new semester and the 3rd quarter. Due every Saturday by 11:50pm a grand total of no less than 70 minutes are due. However, in the Charms Practice Log area, please mark down what you specifically practiced that day. Mr. B will be checking for that as well. Not sure what to practice? For starters, all 12 scales and the tough spots in your concert music. For specific help, Mr. B would happily help you out on what you should do.

Private Lessons
Private Lessons are essential for musicians. There are many times we hear "I wish I can sound like that". They sound that way because they take private lessons!
