crazy early

Marching Practice

Before school!!!

2 weeks in a row!!

October 28^th from 6:40-7:40 am &

November 3^rd from 6:40-7:40 am

All music program students

 

Students will be preparing for two community parades coming up in November and December as

well as learning appreciation for the history of our military and how it relates to band.  This will require some understanding in marching basics.  I know it’s early, but we want to try to be the best we can in a very short time.  Students are asked to have the performance piece, Washington Post, memorized as soon as possible.  Please have sensible footwear and appropriate clothing for the climate of the day.  Also, make sure instruments are assembled and all necessary equipment is ready before the practice starts.

If you have any questions, please contact
