To those of you who are curious, yes we are doing the Halifax Music Festival this year. It is also true that we will not fund raise unless we absolutely have to. When I have the price per student for the festival, I will set up a payment schedule for payment in each students name and we will go from there. If some students have difficulty with the payment schedule, then we will set up a fundraising event. The Halifax trip will be in or around the month of May ( typically early) so we will have plenty of time. We will probably spend one night with various activities thrown in (and the competition of course) and allow some time to shop. More to come on this in the future.
Grade 9 - 11 Band students: You need to start thinking scales again and should be ready to test within the next week ( B flat concert scale with thirds and arpeggio) . We will be moving through the old scales quickly as a review and will begin the new scales ASAP.
Grade 12 Band Students don’t forget that we will be meeting every Wednesday at lunch (to start) at 11:50 for a lunch rehearsal. This begins next week on the 17th. Be there as you said you would please so we can have a productive practice session.
Hope you all continue to have a great year.
Mr D
