March 9-13: Band News

Paint Splatter Words - Congratulations

Congratulations to the grade 8 and grade 9 band students on their excellent performances at PEI Band Days!  We received a lot of positive comments from the adjudicators and from the band teachers who were in the audience.  Thank you for your hard work leading up to this event, and for your cooperation at the Delta on Wednesday. You were excellent representatives of East Wiltshire Intermediate!

schedule-change

Please note the following changes to the early morning rehearsal schedule from March 9th-13th. I apologize for any inconvenience these changes may cause.  Please send me an e-mail (ampeters@edu.pe.ca is working again!) if your child cannot attend.  Thank you.

Grade 8 and 9 concert band rehearsals are now finished until after March Break.  We will have a Jazz Band rehearsal and a Grade 7 Band rehearsal this week due to the number of Mondays and Fridays we have missed because of storms, holidays, and PD days.

Monday, March 9th:  Jazz band canceled (Take some time to adjust to the time change!)

Tuesday, March 10th:  Early morning Jazz Band Rehearsal (7:45-8:45 a.m.)

Wednesday, March 11th:  Grade 8 band is canceled

Thursday, March 12th: Early morning Grade 7 Band Rehearsal (7:45-8:45 a.m.)

Friday, March 13th:  Early morning Grade 7 band is canceled (I will be out at an appointment for the morning).

We will follow the regular schedule for all bands again beginning on Monday, March 23rd.

 

Final notes

If anyone is available to help out tomorrow it would still be great to have a couple of parent chaperones (one for grade 8 in the morning, and one for grade 9 in the afternoon) to help supervise the students while they are at the Delta.  If you are able to give some time, please just come to the Delta when you can, and let me know that you are there!

The students have worked hard in preparation for this event and I am really looking forward to both performances tomorrow!

 

 

Sign-up for interviews

With the permission of the administration, I am trying an on-line sign-up for this set of band interviews.

Please click on the link below if you would like to schedule an interview on Thursday or Friday to discuss your child’s progress in the band program:

SIGN UP LINK FOR BAND INTERVIEWS

  •  A few students have not yet paid their $25 annual band fee, and you may wish to check on that in the main office during interviews as well.  The administrative assistants have a list of those who have paid (e-tranfers, cheques and cash) if you aren’t sure.

I can be reached again at ampeters@edu.pe.ca if you have any questions or concerns

Thank you!
