Month: October 2015

Thank you Thank you Thank you

I drove home last night extremely proud of my bands. I thought both bands sounded great and gave fantastic effort on stage. What made it a success was that it was well attended, almost every band student was there. Thank you for making a commitment to the band program. 

I look forward to seeing you all again in December at our Christmas Concert.

8th Grade Rehearsal and Trojan Band tomorrow

Hello all,

Thank you to my 7th grade students and parents for an awesome rehearsal after school yesterday. We had excellent attendance and the band is going to sound awesome at the concert on October 26th. 

Now it’s the 8th grade bands turn to have an awesome rehearsal.  Football players, I have spoken with Coach New and he has given me the green light to have you attend this rehearsal until 4pm tomorrow. I also know of a few cross country runners that will be with me until they leave for practice so this should be a well attended rehearsal. 

For those that are in Trojan band we will walk to the CHS band room to perform at the football game after rehearsal. We should be done around 7pm. 

Thanks all

Looking forward to another day full of band tomorrow.
