As we head into our first full week of school, we can already celebrate the first performance of the year- the Cougar MB had a solid performance this past weekend at the Bloomfield Early Bird Invitational this past Saturday- and we look ahead and anticipate our first meetings for Concert Ensembles as well as our first home game! It's all included and then some in this Weekly Update...
Concert Ensembles There is a parent meeting for all SCHS Music (Band & Choir) families happening this Monday, September 11, beginning at 7pm in the auditorium. We ask that all families have an adult attend in order to get important information pertaining to our programs for new school year! In case your student has not yet completed them, our first assignments for the year are to... 1) Complete the Beginning of the Year Google Form (click here for form). The link to this form can also be found on the documents section of our website, should your student not have completed it during the first day of school. This BOY Form includes our locker check out Form, Chamber Music Project selection Form, and Community Service lessons Form. Please note: students wishing to use a band locker are responsible for having their own lock. 2) Return the signed syllabus Form. Extra copies of each band's syllabus can be found also on the documents section of our website. A special word about our Community Service Lessons Program: This annual partnership with the Hart MS provides a great service for our younger band students, as well as a great volunteer opportunity for our SCHS students needing community service hours for NHS, Key Club, etc. Our Hart MS band family is growing (close to 300 band students this year!) and we need as many Community Service HS mentors as possible! I sincerely hope every SCHS band student will consider volunteering to help one of our Hart MS band students once a week for 30 minutes!
