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):
