BLUE BOOKS NEEDED FOR BAND CLASSES

All Wind Ensemble, Wind Symphony and Symphonic Band students will need to start bringing their “Foundations of Superior Performance” book for their instrument(also referred to as the “blue book”) to band class starting on Monday. We will do a book check this Friday, November 8 during classes. We will be utilizing this book throughout the school year so it is important that everyone has their own. You can purchase these books at Music and Arts, or on Amazon, just be sure that you acquire the book for YOUR INSTRUMENT.


11/5 SUB FOR ALL BAND, PERCUSSION AND GUARD CLASSES

The BHS band directors will be taking a trip to San Antonio to view the 5A state marching contest finals. There will be a sub in each band class. Students will be expected to work on region music, or on music for the upcoming winter concert. You are expected to be on your best behavior and to show the substitute teacher respect on this day. Any students that are reported for misconduct by the sub will be written a referral.

FOOTBALL PLAYOFF GAMES

Due to our current district record, we are anticipating that we will advance to the playoffs. This will mean that we will have a football game that could occur anywhere between Thursday, November 14 and Saturday, November 16. On whichever day we will have a playoff game, we will do a brief 15 minute rehearsal before school starts from 8:00am-8:15pm. Front ensemble students will be excused from these rehearsals. We will do a reduced halftime show for the playoffs. We will know more details on the date, time and location of our playoff game after the regular season ends on Friday, November 7.


WIND ENSEMBLE MORNING REHEARSALS/SECTIONALS

Wind Ensemble is now meeting at 8:15am. However, there will be 2 mornings a week where the band hall will be used for Winter Guard rehearsal. On these mornings, we will hold full woodwind or full brass sectionals beginning at 8:00am. This will begin on Tuesday, November 12. Whichever group does not meet for sectionals will report for class at 8:50am


Tuesday, November 12 - Full Woodwind Sectional, 8:00am-8:50am (Brass report at 8:50am)


Wednesday, November 13 - Full Brass Sectional, 8:00am-8:50am (Woodwinds report at 8:50am)

WINTER CONCERT REHEARSALS WITH PERCUSSION
