Now that our pep band season is over, we have started new music for our concert season. Students are still expected to spend most of their practice time on scales and all-region material. New music will mostly be learned in class. 5 minutes of practice time is all that will be needed for this new music. A few big dates are coming, so please take a moment and read through all of the following announcements and bullets.
Homework:
- Students should be working on all four etudes of your region audition music. Lines have been assigned with due dates. Please see your child’s music for dates.
