Congratulations to the Howar Jazz Band and the Howar Concert Band on this year's excellent showing at SCIBA's Large Group Contest on Saturday. The Jazz Band received a I rating and the Concert Band received a I+ rating. In addition to to being recognized for musical excellence, I thought there were many positive things happening on Saturday. I was happy with the audience of junior high students during the Jazz Band's performance, they encouraged the soloists and applauded in the correct places. Your behavior between performances was exceptional, I loved seeing all of the card games and the hokey pokey during lunch. The concert band did a great job of pulling together, and a special thanks goes out to three true team players, Marissa H., Eli S., and Patience C. Thanks you three for your up and above on Saturday! I was impressed with your attention to the clinic (which was a great clinic) following our performance. That was also one of the smoothest bus trips I have had with a group of junior high students yet! What a day!
I can't wait for Adventureland this weekend - let's keep our fingers crossed that the weather is good! I'm anxious to get to play our music again (after five rehearsals to perfect it further), and then go ride many rides at the park! I keep checking the weather (www.noaa.gov) to find out the latest forecast... I'm hoping 70s and sunny!
