Symphonic Band CPA Itinerary

Please remember that ALL SYMPHONIC BAND MEMBERS (BRASS, WOODWINDS & PERCUSSION) have after school rehearsal after school from 2:30 – 4:45 on Tuesday (Feb 28th) and Thursday (Mar 2nd). These are for our annual Concert Performance Assessment at MTSU next week on March 8th.

These dates have been posted on the band calendar at McGavockband.com since November and students have been constantly reminded in class. This is a bare minimum amount of rehearsals for this important performance.

This is a graded activity and if students would like to participate in the concert next week at MTSU they need to be here. Below is the detailed itinerary for our performance on March 8th at MTSU.

Wind Ensemble Camp #4

Please see itinerary below for the Wind Ensemble’s fourth and FINAL Saturday Camp this coming Saturday, March 4th. It is important that EVERY STUDENT IS HERE AND IS ON TIME. Thanks to the Music Makes Us initiative, we are able to bring in HIGH QUALITY instructors on each instrument to help with individual parts. This part of the learning process is absolutely pivotal to our success at our concert in April.

Students should plan to be in the band room by 8:45 to be ready to start in sectional rooms at 9:00AM.

The performance will be at Hillwood High School at 6:30PM. We encourage EVERYONE to come watch and support the Wind Ensemble as they perform. The students need as many performance opportunities as possible to be comfortable with their music.
