We will follow the regular early morning band schedule again this week for grade 7, 8, 9, band and Jazz band.

Please note that all students have playing assignments to complete (details are in Google Classroom), and all students will be receiving a practice challenge this week for you to sign at the end of the month. Students should also be completing their practice drills (Chapters 1 and 2) in Breezing Thru Theory 🎶 .

It’s a bit chilly to think about ice cream, but I hope to have the Recipes in Jars ice cream party for those students who sold 6 or more jars on Friday, February 10th.

Stay warm out there!

My apologies for the late post. I was involved with the grade 9 Honour Band all weekend and I forgot to send it out.

We will follow the regular early morning band schedule this week for grade 7, 8, and 9, and we will have a jazz band rehearsal on Wednesday after school (3:15-4:00).

The Honour Band weekend is going really well and we can’t wait to share the music with all of you on Sunday!

The concert is at 2:00 at the new UPEI performance centre. Watch the video below for directions!

Tuesday, January 24: Grade 7 early AM Band (if there are no delays or cancelations tomorrow)

Wednesday, January 25: Grade 8 early AM Band and Grade 9 Honour Band rehearsal after school

I hope that everyone is safe and warm on this icy, rainy day!
