Dear Band Parents,
First, I hope my students are finding time to practice their instruments during these two inclement weather days. Here is our performance schedule for the spring semester:
- March 6, at Zachary High School – time TBD – LMEA District IV Large Ensemble Assessment
- March 6, at the Manship Theater – time TBD but in the evening – Fortier/Gerbrecht Jazz Invitational (Jazz Ensemble members only)
- March 23, at BRCC – time TBD – 3rd annual Mid City Jazz Festival https://www.facebook.com/events/357879591344994/
- April 5-7, at DisneyWorld – Concert and Jazz Band compete in Festival Disney
- April 15, Moonlight and Jazz
- April 24, Spring Concert
After school rehearsals for Concert Band performances will begin Thursday, February 1 and will continue every Thursday until our Mardi Gras break. After Mardi Gras, we will have after-school rehearsals on Tuesdays and Thursdays for two weeks until we perform at district on Tuesday, March 6. (Feb. 20, 22, 27, and March 1).
Again, I urge my students to PRACTICE! Festival will be here before we can bat an eye.
Musically,
