Festival is coming soon!

Hello band and orchestra students and parents,

I hope you are staying healthy or recovering well. Wash your hands and get plenty of rest.

Here are few reminders and updates.

1. Tomorrow is a symphonic orchestra rehearsal for everyone who is in orchestra, be sure to be there at 7:00 a.m.

2. Take your instruments home on Friday for pep band (6:30 p.m. at the Civic), to practice for band/orchestra festival, and also to continue work on State Solo and Ensemble Festival.

3. Symphonic band has had so many absences due to sickness that we are going to squeeze in one extra rehearsal on Monday morning at 7:15 a.m. to help prepare for band festival.

4. Just a reminder that these are the festival dates and times. Symphonic Orchestra is on Wednesday, February 26 and Symphonic Band is on Thursday, February 27. See the detailed itinerary for those days here.

5. Symphonic band and symphonic orchestra will need their concert uniforms at school on both of these performance dates. Please set reminders for yourselves. :)

6. Here are recordings and notes about a few of the pieces for festival. It might help you with your at home practice this weekend.

Thank you!

Mr. VB
