Music notes for 1-10-14
Good morning Bradley Band Parents
, I think I will be glued to the TV on Sunday, so I am going to get the newsletter out early this week. Here is what is happening in the band room this week!!
1) Practice card #12 is due on Monday, January 13th. I will accept them on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday of this week. All cards must be turned in by 4:15 on Friday. This is the last practice card of the 1st semester. If they need extra credit, this is the last chance to get it for this semester.
2) I will be out on Wednesday, January 15th (A Day), however all classes will be playing under the direction of student conductors and supervision of Ms. M'Nahsheh.
3) I am having WAY too many students coming to class with no instrument or book. Consequences are going to need to be stepped up. Please help the kids make sure they are ready for band on band days. I cannot teach them to play their instrument if they don't bring it to school.
8A- (Mon, Wed, Fri)
We will be getting a stack of music on Monday. First up, Fine Arts Festival!! No Quizzes this week. If you are interested in taking beginning band second semester (in addition to regular 8th grade band), this is the week to talk to Ms. Gabriel. This is an exciting opportunity to begin a secondary instrument. See if a friend will loan one to you. Just get your own mouthpiece!! I may have a few loaners for my band kids as well. See me if you are interested.
