Band Update: Week of Oct 21

Keep reading for an update on this week's rehearsal schedule, this year's Band Swag, and our upcoming Band Social:

4-Day Week Rehearsal Schedule

Given that we have another 4-day week, we will have full band rehearsal Monday and Wednesday this week. Please ensure you have your transportation sorted for this adjustment.

Band Swag

Thank you to those of you who have voted on the google classroom for your preferred art. If you haven't yet done so, please ensure you head to the classroom to cast your vote! The winner will be announced this week.

Band Social

Our upcoming band social is set for Tuesday October 29 from 5pm-8pm in the music room (this mistakenly said Oct 22 when I first published - sorry). It will be halloween themed and we're taking a potluck approach to the food. Please sign-up at the link found here for a shareable dish. You can either sign up for something listed, or sign up for something else you'd like to bring. As always, we're aiming for balance - if a couple slots are already taken for your idea, consider figuring out something different.

General Update

Please keep up to date with your assignments on Google Classroom. Your next assignment is due October 27th. Ensure you read through the rubric to help you submit your best possible work.

Stay tuned for an update regarding fundraising. We will once again be participating in the Kootenay Passport fundraiser. Proceeds from our fundraisers go towards supporting band travel opportunities, artist clinics, and enhancing student learning.

Lastly, I will be away from this Thursday around lunch to late Sunday evening and as such will have limited availability throughout these days. I will be travelling to Richmond for the BC Music Educators Association Provincial Specialist Day. I'm looking forward to what is sure to be a rich educational opportunity over Friday and Saturday. As such, I will not be monitoring my email as closely.
