Monday begins Private Lessons for those students who signed up for this week. If you are signed up for a before school 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. Please remember to arrive before your scheduled lesson time-slot so that your lesson can begin on time. Any students who are late to their Private Lesson for any reason will need to reschedule their time-slot. ALL Class Syllabi are due to be signed and turned in by This Friday! All-State Audition Contracts (signed) and the $15 audition fee are due Friday, September 11th. If you have not yet received an All-State Contract, see Mr. Denaro ASAP. Jazz Education Network (JEN) Chapter applications are also due by this Friday. This is a brand new, after-school student organization for this school year, focused on community outreach, performance opportunities & overall enjoyment of Jazz music! Membership is open to every member of the band program who has a 2.0 GPA, regardless if they have any experience playing/singing Jazz before. Please click HERE for the application! Any students who need to drop off instruments, equipment, etc. in the mornings: The side door in Independence Hall will be unlocked for you to use starting at 8:45am each morning, in addition to the regular hallway entrance. Once 1st period begins, the hallway entrance is the only entry point into the band hall. Remember that ALL after school rehearsals are mandatory for each active member of the band program! We are fortunate enough to offer a Band HONORS credit for band students who meet the required criteria.
Please refer to the document below for Admission and Curriculum Requirements. Students enrolled in Band HONORS will remain in their current band class (schedule change not necessary), but will receive an honors credit upon successful completion of all assignments. Band HONORS Requirements Students who meet the listed admission requirements will need to sign and return the Band Honors Credit Agreement no later than this Friday, August 28th. Hard copies are available in the band room. We are looking forward to seeing everyone back in school tomorrow! Check out the reminders below for all band 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.*
