One last post from me before I officially end my summer...
But what a summer it's been! Summer lessons went well, I think I had record attendance this third year of teaching in the Centerville summer program, congrats to those of you who were able to come to at least a few lessons! Also, the summer ensembles were even more amazing this year, PLUS we played to a record crowd! That was the sweetest way to end the summer lesson program. Hope to see even more participate next summer!
Getting back in to the swing of things, we've already had some fun with the marching program. I didn't get to check out any of the drum or wind rehearsals for CHS due to my flag coaching, but heard that things went well. I am very excited about the flag team this season, we had such a strong kick off! HJH Marching Band started out with a BANG! Sight reading through the piece, this could be the beginning of a top notch band!!
Enough looking back, let's look to the future and this upcoming school year. Eighth graders interested in auditioning for SCIBA Honor Band, you'll be wanting to work on your scales AND if you don't already have etudes, make sure I get those to you on Friday! Those auditions will be happening before we know it!
Pancake Day is the last Saturday in September (the 27th), and our combined performance with CHS will be the night before (the 26th). I think we've picked some very exciting music this season, and can't wait until Friday when we will get to start working on it at Howar!!
I'm already brainstorming some ideas for our winter concert in December as well as for our large group contest sets (both concert and jazz band), and I know that this is going to be another phenomenal year for those groups!
Don't forget - NO instruments on Thursday, but we WILL want them on Friday!! See you at Back to School Night and the First Day of School!!
