First Concert Band Rehearsal
Dear parents and students,
The SOA MS concert band consists of all of the students in 6th &7th grade bands. I combine these 2 grades so that the younger students have the experience of playing in a larger ensemble and the 7th grade students have the opportunity to play the lead parts in the music. This has been a WIN-WIN for our program over the past several years. Yes, the 7th graders have double the work but they have always risen to this challenge and together with the 6th graders, brought home a Superior award!
To obtain the goal of this outstanding experience all students must rehearse after school since their classes do not meet at the same time during the school day. I spend many hours in the summer months scheduling these rehearsals based on the CCSD and SOA calendars. After many revisions, I have the calendar ready for hand out. Well, this year one revision slipped up on me. Our First Rehearsal next week has conflicting date and weekday listed. The date is correct not the day of the week. The first rehearsal after school is Monday, February 6, 2017. I am so sorry for my oversight. I understand if you can't have your child at this first rehearsal. If your child can stay, it will be great. The very first time that the 6th graders play in a band like this, it is a great day. Many of them are blown away by how good it sounds. It is very exciting.
I hope to see your child at band on Monday after school but I will understand if you are unable to make it work with this short notice. Thank you for understanding.
Humbly,
Suzanne Reed
