First Week of School Info & Schedule for the week:  8/8-8/12

8/7/2022

 
We are looking forward to seeing everyone back in school on Wednesday!  Please review our reminders below for all band program classes:
​

*If there is an error on your class schedule, we will work together to get it fixed.  Please be patient - the guidance office will be working through many schedule changes.*

  1. YES, you WILL need your instrument/equipment on Wednesday & for the remainder of the year. 
  2. Many of our concert instruments are still being professionally cleaned and sanitized.  They will be checked out as soon as we receive them. 
  3. Instrument lockers are for your instrument and music only.  
  4. The Band Hall will not open until 8:45am each morning.  The ONLY exceptions for an earlier entry would be for a pre-arranged band sectional, rehearsal, or private lesson.  
  5. Students may wait in the Band Hall on Tuesday/Thursday before evening rehearsal, Friday before a football game, or daily for afternoon lessons.  If students go anywhere else, they will be asked to leave the building - sorry, this is a school rule.  Plan accordingly.
  6. If you are signed up for a before school lesson time-slot, remember to have your planner signed the day before your lesson, and bring it with you that morning, or you will not be allowed inside the building.  All students will receive their planner on Wednesday.

Monday - Teacher Pre-Planning;  Jazz 1 Rehearsal, 4:00-6:00p

Tuesday - 
Teacher Pre-Planning;  Marching Rehearsal, 5:00-9:00p

Wednesday - First Day of School! -  Florida All-State Help Session**, 3:30-4:15p; 
*MANY new school forms will be coming home

*Students interested in taking a Band HONORS course should pick up a request form in the band room (specific criteria needs to be first met)
**Any student interested in auditioning for an All-State ensemble is highly encouraged to attend any portion of the help session.

Thursday - Marching Rehearsal, 5:00-9:00p

Friday - Patriot Night Football Game - call time is 4:15p

*Students should wear their 2022 Band T-shirt, khaki shorts, and tennis shoes
*Long hair will need to be pulled back - no hats, but sunglasses are permitted
*All Students MUST bring their own pre-filled large water jug.  This will be a long night, so this is necessary to stay hydrated throughout the evening.
*The band will be performing from the stands only - no field performance


A couple of reminders!
ALL rehearsals, sectionals & performances are ALWAYS mandatory!

Please email a director for every rehearsal absence - in advance when possible!  This MUST be a note from a parent or guardian, not the student.  Failure to do so can affect their grade or future performance opportunities.

Students who miss the Thursday evening rehearsal (excused OR unexcused) will not be permitted to do the field performance that weekend.  This policy is listed in the Band Handbook.

Concert Ensemble Rosters

8/6/2022

 
Below are the initial Concert Ensemble rosters.  Students are placed into classes based off of their concert instrument, and the class periods are not interchangeable. 

Color Guard roster is not listed below, but should have 3rd period "Eurythmics" on their schedule.

Jazz 1 members - Your first rehearsal is on Monday (8/8) from 4:00-6:00p

Congratulations on a successful Half Day Band Camp! Continue to get plenty of rest, hydrate, and take care of yourselves in between rehearsals, which will allow for everyone to be their best at all times!

  • There will be NO lunch break during the morning rehearsal block (9a-1p).  Students should eat during the afternoon break (1:00-3:30p).  If staying at the school, students should bring a lunch with them when they arrive in the morning.

Half Day Band Camp Begins!

7/16/2022

 
Our Half Day Band Camp officially begins this week (July 18-22)!  This is a VERY important week for the Pace Band program.  In order to have the most successful week possible, please be mindful of the following:


  • Schedule is 9:00a-3:00p (Monday through Friday).  Additionally, we will rehearse Tuesday and Thursday evening from 6:00p-9:00p.  All rehearsals are always mandatory!
 
  • Please be prepared to spend long portions of the day outside.  Dress appropriately, wear hat/sunglasses, bring a beach towel for stretch/sitting (the ground is hot), and apply sunscreen frequently.  Don’t forget to eat a healthy breakfast each morning, and get plenty of rest each night.  Start hydrating now!
 
  • A large mouth water bottle is a MUST.  It is very time consuming for our volunteer parents to fill up small water bottles.  Invest in a LARGE water jug, and use it for the entire marching season.  You’ll want the extra water!
 
  • Bring a healthy lunch to eat each day.  Lunch will be from 12:00p to 12:30p, and students may NOT leave campus during this time.

A look ahead...

The following week is our Full Day Band Camp (July 25-29), 9a-9p each day, with our Friends & Family Preview Performance in the Stadium on Friday July 29th.  More details about this coming week & preview performance coming soon!

*The Band Health Form is an extremely important document for your students to safely participate in all Band activities.  We need to have this form on file by the time the student attends rehearsal on this date, or they will be unable to participate in any outdoor activities.  Please remember this form also needs to be notarized. If you haven't turned this in yet, it can be found in Documents and Forms.

Friday July 15-  Fair Share Band Payment #2 Due

Saturday July 16-  Marching Band Shoe Orders DUE*

*All Band students are responsible for making this additional purchase of Marching Shoes, or students will not be able to perform while the band is wearing the uniform.  Shipping dates of these shoes are unknown due to current worldwide conditions, so it is necessary to make this purchase ASAP.  Information on ordering shoes can be found in Additional Expenses.

June Band Camp Details!

5/27/2022

 
Our June Band camp is rapidly approaching.  Some tips and reminders for ALL students are listed below:

  • DATES:  Our first camp is May 31st - June 3rd.  Brass/Woodwinds are from 5:00-9:00p, and Percussion/Color Guard are from 3:00p-9:00p.  Arrive EARLY and meet in the band hall.  “To be EARLY, is to be ON TIME.”  
 
  • DRESS:  We will be outside, in the sun, for the majority of the afternoon/evening.  Wear warm weather athletic clothing (school appropriate), supportive undergarments, & tennis shoes/socks.  A hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are highly recommended.  Percussion/Color Guard- Bringing a change of clothes for after dinner would be a smart idea as well… unless you enjoy wearing smelly clothing all day.
 
  • WHAT TO BRING:  Instrument (unless we provide it), large mouth water jug prefilled with ice water, 3 ring binder and sheet protectors (to store music), and a large beach towel (you will want to sit on this, rather than the concrete or grass… trust me).
 
  • Eat a healthy meal and drink plenty of water before you arrive!  Fruit, salads, sandwiches, and any other light food is the most ideal here!  Brass/Woodwinds will NOT have a dinner break (see below).
 
  • DINNER BREAK (Percussion & Color Guard ONLY):  - No student will be permitted to leave campus.  Parents may drop off a dinner for a student, but should not plan on staying.  Dinner break for these students will be from 5:30-6:15p in the cafeteria each day.
 
  • PARENT DROP OFF/PICK UP:  Please avoid using the front bus loop for drop off and pick up.  It quickly becomes congested and has caused multiple issues in the past.  Plan on dropping off/picking up your child in just about ANY other lot at the front or back of the school.  To reduce the number of people on campus at any given time, parents are strongly encouraged to stay in their vehicle when picking up their child.
 
  • ABSENCES:  A director or staff member will need to be notified of any absence as early as possible.  Email or text notifications are preferred.  Understand that being tired or sore is not an excusable absence.
 
  • MEDICAL PAPERWORK:  In order to keep your child safe, please make every effort to submit the Band Health Form and the Over the Counter Medication Permission Form.  Hard copies of these forms are in the band room, and electronic copies can be found HERE.
 
  • Additional tips on how to prepare for all of our summer band rehearsals can be found in the following link:  Preparing for Summer Band Camp Video
 
  • FINALLY - Parents, support and encourage your child as a much as possible. The first few days of camp are hard on everyone, so push them to stick with it!

​If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to ask.  We look forward to seeing everyone on May 31st!
