Congratulations on earning First division at UIL Marching Contest! |
|
Good Morning Band Parents,
What a week we had last
week!! Parades,
auditions, concerts,
performances, more concerts,
and All-Region Band…your
students did a great job and
I’m very proud of them.
There’s not too much going
on this week, but I wanted
to touch base with you
before we left for Christmas
Break.
1. Please get all
uniforms dry-cleaned.
They must be cleaned during
the Christmas Break so that
they are fresh and ready to
go for concert season.
Please take them to Town &
Country Cleaners because
they have been trained how
to clean our uniforms and
they will replace missing or
broken buttons. Be
sure to point out to them
any button issues.
2. This Thursday, 18
December, the School Board
is recognizing the band for
earning straight ones at
Marching Contest. This
is a great honor and we
really need to try very hard
to be there for this
recognition.
Additionally, Bob and Tracy
Stoudt are being honored as
volunteers of the month by
the School Board. We
should be at the meeting at
6:20 and it should all be
over at about 6:45pm.
Please try to make it to the
meeting so that the School
Board knows how much we
appreciate their support.
3. Here is the
Spring Schedule that
outlines all of the
important dates and
rehearsals during the Spring
Semester. These were
passed out at the Christmas
Concert and they were then
passed out again to all of
the students during their
classes. They are
available in the Band Hall
at any time.
4. When your students
leave school this Friday,
they will have music for
their solos, medium
ensembles, small ensembles
and UIL contest music.
They will also receive their
schedule for when each piece
will be played off next
semester for a grade.
They should spend some time
over the break practicing
this music. Please
ensure that they are
spending some time on their
horns.
5. We will begin
sectionals on Monday, 5
January; please check your
schedule to determine when
your student is responsible
to be here for sectionals.
These are vital to the
continued success of the
band and they are a major
grade. Please double
check doctor appointments,
etc. Thanks for
helping us with this.
6. The following
people will be traveling to
Makinzie Nicks
They will receive specific
information, so please check
with your student (if they
belong to you) for this
information. I would
also suggest that each of
these students contact the
Instrumental Professors at
Sam Houston and try to
schedule at least one lesson
with them before January.
The level of competition at
Area is INTENSE. In
most sections only the top 1
or 2 players will be chosen
to advance to State.
7. Finally, we will be
hosting the Middle School
Solo & Ensemble Contest on
Saturday, 24 January, here
at the High School.
Please understand that as
the hosts we will need the
students to sign up for
shifts that they will work.
The shifts for most students
will probably only be a
couple of hours, but it is
important that each student
be available for some time
on that day.
I think that’s all I have
for now. I hope
everyone has a great week
and enjoys the time during
the holidays to spend with
family and friends.
Students, please be very
careful during this time and
make the right decisions so
that you and your family and
friends stay safe.
Merry Christmas, Happy New
Year and Happy Holidays.
Sincerely,
Nicholas A. Luggerio
