Good morning band family! I hope are all staying warm on these chilly chilly days! I wanted to give another huge congratulations to ALL of our students who participated in solo and ensemble this weekend. It is such a valuable experience for making progress at your craft, and I’m very proud of each and every one of you! Next up is State S&E for many of you! Here is the news for this week! 

- Tuesday’s rehearsal will be for SYMPHONIC BAND, 2-4pm. Please be in attendance as we will be having a special guest clinician coming out to work with the band! 

- Color guard will not have practice on Tuesday! Enjoy your day off and congrats again on your superior rating! We will resume practice on Thursday. 

- Jazz band will have our pre- MPA performance this Wednesday at centennial high school. Please remember to bring your jazz uniforms to school. Remember, it is an early out, so we will carpool from school, get lunch before arriving at centennial, and perform beginning at 1pm. The event will be concluded by 3pm. 

- Jazz band rehearsal will STILL be on for Thursday from 2-4pm. We will have Ms. Russell from Vero Beach High School out to work with us, so come ready to make a LOT of progress. Jazz MPA is on Wednesday, February 9th! We’re in the home stretch! 

- Please remember, WIND ENSEMBLE will be having two after school clinician rehearsals back to back, on February 10th and 17th with Mr. Eggen from Viera High School and Mr. Lunceford from IRSC! 
 
Let’s keep getting better and having fun! Be on the look out for some social band events coming up soon, like video game days, sports days, etc!

I’d like to say thanks again to all the awesome students and parents who made last semester a tremendous success!

- We will be participating in the MLK day parade this year! This will be required for full band. Details to come soon!

- An update to the band trip cost and payments will be made by the end of this week! I will explain details in classes and send a letter home for parents explaining everything for the trip :)
