Just a few things you will need to know to help you succeed in Band this year.

All performances are mandatory for the band members.

If you are a symphonic band student and are working to earn an A or B on your report card for this 9 week period, you must learn the 7 scales and chromatic scales to achieve this goal.

Percussionists will need to know the rudiments and be able to sight read to earn an A or B for this 9 week period.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR PARENTS!! 

There are several activities that could use parents’ help this year.  They include: --symphonic band uniform distribution—Ms. Keezel needs at least two parents who can help (ASAP) fit and distribute performing band uniforms at school—see contact information below

--band hallway bulletin board—posting pictures, band information, etc.

--chaperones for performances—we will be e-mailing you with performance dates/information as they arise

--occasional classroom helper for Ms. Keezel—please see below for her phone #’s to work out mutually convenient days/times

--fundraising

--concession help—one of the ways the band raises money for its operational costs are selling concessions at home football games, and at school dances
