I hope you are enjoying your summer. I am looking forward to meeting you and making music together this year!
Here are a few dates for you to put on your calendar:
1. The band and orchestra kick-off is on Thursday, August 18, from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm at Kollen Park near the band shell.
--
Check out Sign-up Genius if you can help bring chips, pop, cups, etc. Thank you for your generous help in making this happen!
Please also use this link if you know you can make it so we can get an estimate on how many will be able to attend.
2. We will have two practices scheduled before the school year begins, one for full orchestra and one for band. These rehearsals should leave plenty of time for check-in and your school photos.
-Monday, August 22 from 12:30 pm to 1:15 pm, concert band and symphonic band--combined pep band practice. We have a few new tunes and we play already for the Friday, Aug. 26 home game.
-Monday, August 22 from 1:30 pm to 2:15 pm, orchestra practice. We are looking forward to performing at the Michigan Music Conference in Grand Rapids in January, and this practice will help us get an early start in our preparation.
3. We have a band and orchestra retreat on Friday, October 14 to Saturday, October 15. This will be a time of food, games, getting to know each other, making a little music together, and of fun. Since this will be local we will be able to work around HCHS sports conflicts. Please note these dates in your calendar now. Thank you!
I will have a new blog entry soon with this year's concert dates.
Thank you!
