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.
Accompanist Rehearsals: Feb 7-8 Solo and Ensemble
For students who signed up for Feb 7 & 8 Solo and Ensemble, you will able to rehearse with your accompanist on Friday, January 31. I will be sending out an email to those it applies to tonight. PLEASE HAVE MONEY READY FOR THEM!
Some will be going during your band class period, others will able to come after school, depending on who your accompanist is. If you cannot make this time, please let us know and I will do my best to get your assigned accompanist back in to work with you.
As always, please reach out if you have any questions. Please keep up to date with our website, blog, and calendar. See everyone tomorrow!
