Hello band and orchestra students and parents,
I hope you are doing well, happy snow day!
1. Do you need to pick up your instrument to complete a playing test, to work on state solo/ensemble music, or to practice for upcoming festival performances?
I will be at school on Saturday from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and you can stop by to pick up your instrument at that time (band/orchestra room door will be propped open). You can also pick up your instrument on Monday as the doors will be open all morning because of teacher activities.

2. Parents, would you be willing to join us for our Band and Orchestra Festival experiences? We need 1 or 2 parent volunteers to ride the bus with each of these groups......the HCHS symphonic band on March 1 and HCHS orchestra on March 2. Check out the last blog entry for timing for these dates. Volunteers would walk with kids and be present in case a need arises. Email me if you are able to help out! All parents are invited to view festival performances and also invited to the sight reading room.
3. With symphonic band and orchestra festival performances very close it is crucial to have every student in class every day to prepare for these performances. As always, when near a performance a lot of our time is spend trying to blend and match parts together and this is difficult when someone is missing. Each member is important!
4. The parent planning group for next year's Florida trip will meet again on Thursday, April 13 in the HCHS band/orchestra room. Please join us if you are interested in helping plan for next year's trip.
5. State Solo and Ensemble Festival is on Saturday, March 18 at Whitehall HS. So proud of our hard working students!
Thank you,
Mr. VB
