THESE REHEARSALS ARE A GRADE!!!!
Rehearsals after school are essential for these next couple of weeks. Students will be performing at the Music Performance Assessment (MPA) next month, which is one of our biggest performances of the school year. It is the music equivalent of a general education class's state test.
If a student needs to miss a rehearsal, they must talk to me, and I must have parent contact. This is so that there is adult communication on the situation. Yes, there are make-up assignments, however, without your student, the whole band falls behind and can lose progress. So, it is important to have all students there.
Students will have to record a section of their music that we worked on in the rehearsal if they need to make up the rehearsal. Please see this on Google Classroom.
Solo & Ensemble
February Solo & Ensemble is THIS UPCOMING WEEK! Please pay your piano accompanist if you have not done so!!!! Both accompanists have worked hard to learn parts to help students on top of their busy schedule. Please be respectful of their time.
This Solo & Ensemble will take place in Tavares High School. PLEASE SHOW UP 30-45MINS BEFORE YOUR TIME! There is a warm up room and the schedule may run early. You will want to be in front of your performance room at least 10mins before your scheduled time. I will make sure everyone gets the schedule by Monday.
lease make sure you have your music, instrument, and things like reeds and valve oil. I will give you or your accompanist an original to give to the judge. DO NOT LOSE THE ORIGINAL! This is Umatilla MS property and you could get disqualified if you do not have a proof of purchasing music.
As always, please reach out with any questions. Please see our Band App, online Calendar, and website to up to date information.
