Important Dates to schedule:
During the spring, the MAJOR event for our band is the Music Performance Assessment. Think of this music festival as “Band FCAT, or FSA, or whatever they’re calling the testing these days”. As a band, we will perform for a panel of judges to compete for comments and an overall rating. This is a BIG deal for our band program and school.
Due to the high level of music making that needs to be achieved, we will be having after school sectionals and full band rehearsals (just like last year!) to bring in extra help and clinicians to work with our students.
Please communicate any conflicts with that after school rehearsal to me as soon as possible, email is best. These are required events, but I will excuse students with an appropriate reason to not attend.
Music Performance Assessment Dates (Mark all as potential performance dates): April 6-8th
Thank you for adding these dates to your calendar!
