Band Pictures


































Band Calendar Is Up and Running

Students and Parents,

 The Band Calender is up and running. Click on the link to the right of the screen.

TAKE HOME YOUR INSTRUMENT TODAY AND PRACTICE

Students,

It will be required that you take home your instrument today over the thanksgiving break and practice.  Just like Math,Science, History class etc... You do have HW for band class. Every day you should be working on scales and long tones just like our warm-up. Then you should break down the music that you have in concert band beat by beat measure by measure. Also remember assignments are posted on this website as well as the whiteboard every day.  Here is a link that I think you will find interesting about practicing. 

Have a great Thanksgiving to you and your families!!  Remember to practice!
