Thursday, July 2nd - BAND STUDENT LEADERSHIP; meet in band room at 2:00pm
Band student leaders should plan on bringing something to write on to take notes.  The meeting will not last longer than two hours.

Thursday, July 2nd - MANDATORY BAND PARENT MEETING*;  Pace Assembly chapel at 6:00pm
We have MUCH to discuss!  Main topics will include Band Finances, Preparing for Summer Band, COVID-19 restrictions/policies, and more.  Bring questions and a pen to get started on Band paperwork for the 2020-2021 year.

Due to limited space and social distancing, this meeting is for parents only.  Masks are encouraged, but not required.

*We have posted the video of the meeting to our Pace High Band Facebook page. Please visit ​https://www.facebook.com/pacehighband/ to watch.

If you are interested in auditioning for the All-State 9/10 Concert Band, 11/12 Symphonic Band, or the All-State Jazz Band this year, we have started an online help series!  You can access this in the same location you completed your band Flipgrid audition.

While auditioning for All-State is optional, it is highly encouraged to help become a better musician!

Please email a director if you need further assistance!

Band rehearsals start on Monday, but it is VERY IMPORTANT that all parents and students are familiar with the COVID-19 restrictions taking place.  Please read through the attached document.

Several items in this packet will be discussed at our parent meeting tomorrow evening (Thursday, July 2nd at 6pm).

ADJUSTED REHEARSAL SCHEDULE PACKET

Keep in mind that this is a starting point for summer band activities.  Dates/Times and restrictions for all rehearsals after July 17th are subject to change as well.

All audition placements for concert ensembles and jazz ensembles will take place in a virtual format this year.  This is for ALL current winds and percussion students (excluding seniors).  

Click here to visit our Flipgrid page to access the grid for both sets of auditions.

If you are nervous about this process, that is okay!  Once your video is submitted, it will be hidden from view of everyone else.  Meaning, you will not be able to watch any video auditions, including your own.  So take advantage of the situation and record yourself in the comforts of your own home, without a director staring at you.

If you have not completed any previous Flipgrid assignments, THIS is the one that you absolutely need to do.  There is no alternative assignment or make up date.

The deadline to complete your audition requirements is Friday, May 22nd.  

Current seniors do NOT need to complete an audition.

For all current Pace Band members, the audition process for Jazz Ensemble placement will take place entirely on Flipgrid during the month of May, regardless if the student was in Jazz last year or not.
