Students, everyone WILL need instruments and music this week. Most bands will be reading new music. For the 3 concert bands, please be aware that after school rehearsals will begin after All-County is over beginning January 22nd.
Indoor folks, the first performances are quickly approaching. For those of you that would like to know the order of performances for each show in advance, just CLICK HERE for all indoor schedules for each show. You do NOT have to create an account to see these . the event list is on the right hand side of the page.
Parents, please be aware that the BPA monthly meeting has been moved to next week instead of this week. We will probably be meeting in the chorus room on the 16th.
Final thought: with this new year comes new goals and expectations. Let's all make sure we continue to push ourselves musically as well as academically. Let's hold each other accountable with everything. I encourage you to set personal goals and have people keep you in check to reach those goals. In the end, the new year will be what you make it so let's all try and make this the best 2018 we can :-)
I hope everyone has a ridiculously good week!
