1/9/2022

There is not much happening this week since the directors will be attending the Florida Music Educators Association conference in Tampa, but everyone will need to take a moment to give the next few months of our band calendar a glance.

In the fall, we were managing primarily one single rehearsal schedule after regular school hours... marching band.

Starting with January's before/after school calendar, we are now managing rehearsals for the upcoming assessments and performances of two concert ensembles, two jazz ensembles, multiple Solo & Ensemble chamber ensembles, and three indoor ensembles, in addition to private lessons! It is a VERY busy time of year.

The band CHARMS calendar can be accessed through our band website (click below):
BAND CALENDAR ACCESS

If you have not already synced the calendar to your phone, you really should.

Instructions on how to do this are on page 5 of the Band Handbook (click below):

Band students are strongly encouraged to sign up for a private lesson slot EARLY this 9 weeks, as they only need to complete one lesson, per ensemble class they are a part of.

The second nine weeks grading period is almost completed. If you are missing a lesson, it is strongly recommended you plan to come before school or stay after school when lesson times are offered, and wait to see if students who signed up aren't able to attend, so you may receive a time-slot.**

**Remember, students are never guaranteed to be placed into a weekly lesson schedule that is already full, but it is always a good idea to be present and waiting, when possible.

Students will need to find their own transportation to and from downtown Pensacola
Call time in the Blue Wahoos Stadium Parking lot is 4:30p (look for the black band trailer)
Drivers are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to leave Pace no later than 3:45p - many roads downtown will be closed, and traffic will be an issue.
I would suggest taking 110 South, and getting off at the Cervantes exit. Turn right on Cervantes Street. Your next turn is left onto A Street. Take A Street all the way to Main Street and turn left (this intersection is in front of Joe Pattis Seafood). Turn right into the Blue Wahoos Stadium parking lot.
Students will be responsible for transporting their Instrument AND marching band shoes/gloves.
Tubas, battery percussion, and patriot uniforms will be transported on the band trailer.
Students will change into their patriot uniform as soon as they arrive in the parking lot.
Students are encouraged to decorate their instrument with lights and to wear a “festive” Santa hat, antlers, etc.
The parade steps off at 6:30p - we will most likely step off between 6:45-7:00p
At the conclusion of the parade, we will walk to the band trailer to change out of uniforms - once undressed, students will be dismissed. This will probably be around 8:30p.

Additional Reminders
Each band student will need to have their own Concert Black attire before the Winter Concert (December 14th). Students will not be provided with this attire from the school. Please see the ADDITIONAL EXPENSES page for information on how to order these items.
