Hello Drum Line & Color Guard,
It's winter competition time!!
It's winter competition time!!
Next Saturday, February 16th is the annual winter guard & winter
percussion competition in Modesto from 7:30 am to around 7 pm.
Attached is the
plan for the day as well as directions and maps.
If you could please
respond to this e-mail with your confirmation of your child's participation, it
would be greatly appreciated (we're hoping every one's had this date on their
calendar for months now). Also, we'll be carpooling, if you've taken the safe
environment training and are willing to help transport students, would you
please respond with your number of available seats please? If your child needs
a ride, please let us know that as well as soon as possible.
Our School
seems to have a higher than average amount of Parental involvement with the
students. This is not only beneficial for the academics, but also incredibly
effective for our music program. The band teaching staff have been drilling
instruction but essentially it's up to the students to review & practice
what they've learned on their own at home. It's not too late to double check
with your child their practice schedule. We don't consider the trophy as the
most important lesson in music education however, it's a nice icing on the
cake.
