5th Grade Band - I met with the clarinets, oboes, and saxophone on Monday and the trumpets today. Thursday I'm meeting with the trombone and baritone, and Friday is percussion. We are off to a great start!
Middle School Band - The 6th grade band students have been in study hall during band time this week because of the upcoming 7th & 8th Grade Marching Band Clinic with AHS. After only two practices with just the 7th & 8th grade, Thriller is sounding AWESOME! As for 6th grade, we will resume regular 6th-8th grade band practices next week.
Lessons - Off to the left of my posts, you'll find a link titled 15-Minute Individual Band Lesson Schedule 2010-2011. I was only able to open it with Microsoft Word, though. If you are unable to view it, please let me know and I can email it to you. Your child also has a copy of the lesson schedule in their music folder (which is now wrong, due to the numerous changes I have had to make). The link will take you to a current lesson schedule. Hope this works for everyone!
