Welcome and welcome back to a new school year! I am so excited for the wonderful moments this year is sure to hold for our bands! Here's a head start on some of the things we have going on for this year...
Concert Ensembles Your student's 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 on or before Friday, Sept. 8th. 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! Marching Band We hit the ground running this week with two rehearsals and two performances! Rehearsals: Wednesday 9/14, 6:15-7:15am; Thursday, 9/15, 6:15-7:15am. Performances (Found on our Documents page, or by clicking links below): Friday, 9/8- Arts & Apples Festival, Rochester Municipal Park Saturday, 9/9- Bloomfield Early Bird Invitational Opportunities MSBOA All-State Auditions will be held again this fall! Auditions will be held on October 28-29th, and will consist of scales, sightreading, and prepared etudes. Students selected for these premiere ensembles will have the opportunity to perform in Grand Rapids for the Michigan Music Conference in January along side students from across the state of Michigan! This is a significant honor and great performance opportunity; students are encouraged to audition. More information can be found here, and posted in the band room along with blank applications.
