April Reminders and Updates - 4/1

4/1/2020

All band/guard instruction will be completed online through Flipgrid. If you have a computer or a phone, access is very easy. All students are being given two assignments a week. Please make every effort to complete them by the stated deadline.
   Visit our website if you need help with Flipgrid: http://www.pacehsband.com/flipgrid.html

Instrument/Music/etc. Pick up will be tomorrow (Thursday) from 10:00-11:00am. Access to the band room is limited, so we will be bringing your needed items out to you. Pull into the front bus loop, grab what you need, and pull through.
   And of course if you want to swing by and say hello, you are welcome to do so!

Our 2019-2020 Band Lettering Application is now in an online format. The form will be active until Friday, April 17th. There will be NO hard copy forms this year.

   Visit the link to fill out the form: https://forms.gle/yvMSAGtKTyY9ndje8

   Guard members will need to get with Mrs. Belveal regarding this process for guard.

Additional details regarding future events will be determined at a later date. I know you have questions, but we do not have answers… yet.

Stay healthy and stay well. Mr. Michanowicz and I miss all of you, and we are looking forward to seeing all of you again.

Instrument/Music Pick Up - Thursday April 2nd, 10:00-11:00am

3/30/2020

Students are not permitted to enter the school, so Mr. Michanowicz and Mr. Denaro will be bringing the instruments out to the front bus loop.

We can only offer this one opportunity, so please take advantage if you are in need of something!

Online Band Assignments - utilizing Flipgrid

3/19/2020

All band, jazz, and guard classes will be utilizing Flipgrid to record and submit online video assignments. Each class will have 2-3 assignments each week, so check frequently. Students are expected to practice at least 30 minutes a day, which is the equivalent of a daily 50 min ensemble rehearsal - the flipgrid assignments should hopefully help guide you on what to practice. We will be sending out additional suggestions for practice next week.

NEW TO FLIPGRID? Click HERE to get started!

Focus on completing your Flipgrid assignments to the best of your ability. If you do not have your instrument, we hope to open the band room as soon as we are permitted. Due dates will be flexible for those without an instrument at the moment.

Each assignment will have a video explanation to guide you on how to properly complete the assignment. Make sure to upload your best performance AFTER you have practiced the assignment. Students who do not complete the assignment at a high level will be asked to redo the assignment.

If you have a question about any particular assignment, please email your ensemble director.
