Clark High School Band
Weekly Update (November 30 - December 4)
ANNOUNCEMENTS
We hope everyone had a nice relaxing and safe week off! With only 3 weeks left in the semester it is important for students to be on top of their grades. We also only have 2 weeks before each band has a rehearsal/recording session so that we can put together a virtual concert for everyone to enjoy!
- We will continue to post Weekly Covid Self-Screenings as students will be coming to campus to do region recordings and for our upcoming clinic with Mr. Benzer and our Winter Concert recording sesson...NEW Covid form for this week below
Monday (TOMORROW) is our clinic with Mr. Benzer for Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band students. Students should complete their Covid Self-Screening before arriving on campus. Temperatures will be checked at the entrance. Students should plan to be dropped off and picked up from the back of the school near the gym entrance.
School owned instrument user fees should be paid via Ryco. Less than half of our students who use a school owned instrument has paid this fee. See information below for link and the form that I must have completed, signed and scanned/emailed back to me. This is for any student using school owned instruments (Oboe, Bassoon, Bass Clarinet, Tenor/Bari Sax, Horn, Bass Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba and Percussion). If a student uses a school owned marching and concert instrument the fee is still only 85.00/year.
Stay well and healthy!
Have a GREAT week!
