6th Grade Band is off to a great start! I am excited for those that returned to band this year, and super excited for all of our new students as well!
The MS Band Hall is open almost every day after school from 3:30-4:30pm for extra practice. Several students have been taking advantage of that, and they are progressing very quickly. Some are even working on the 7th-8th grade All-Region Band music!
Playing tests need to be recorded using Flipgrid app or a cell phone video submitted through Google Classroom. Students have opportunities to record their videos after school, during tutorials, lunch (M, W, F), or at home. Students that do not record their video by the due date will have to play it in class and will be limited to the number of attempts they have to play it correctly. The next playing test is posted in Google Classroom and on Flipgrid.
We are currently preparing for our first performance of the year. The Fall Concert is scheduled for Tuesday, November 5 at 6:30pm at the BMS Gym. This is a required performance for all band students. All band events are posted well in advance on the band calendar. Students cannot wait to show you what all they have learned so far this year!
Finally, students were sent home with T-shirt order forms. Forms need to be returned by Friday, October 11. Money is due by October 25.
If you ever have any questions or concerns, contact one of the band directors.
