Week #12

This Friday will be our third in a series of section concerts. The Saxophone section will be performing at 5:00pm in the band hall after school, and the concert will finish by 5:30pm. We would love to have all parents of our saxophone players and any other interested audience members join us to hear the progress these young men and women have made.

This is the final week of the second six weeks grading period. All students should be keeping up with their homework every day. Please reiterate to them that failure to return even one homework assignment can have a catastrophic impact on their grades. If you have any concerns or if there is any way that we can help, please email us at joel.wagner@sfdr-cisd.org or daniel.white@sfdr-cisd.org and we will gladly do whatever we can.

Finally, there are a few events of note next week. We have previously announced a Trumpet and Horn section concert on Thursday November 9th. We have been presented with an opportunity to have members of the SFMMS Band perform for the school’s Ribbon-Cutting and Recognition of War Veterans ceremonies. The Ribbon-Cutting will be on Monday November 6th and the Recognition Ceremony will be on Wednesday November 8th. We are asking that all clarinet players be there to perform for these ceremonies. More details will come as soon as they are made available to us. All other band students who would like to come and help out with the ceremony are invited. All band students should wear their blue band shirts, blue jeans, and nice shoes unless they are otherwise involved in the ceremony (student council, etc.).
