Welcome/Welcome Back and Schedules

Good Evening,
I hope that everyone has enjoyed their summer and is looking forward to another superior year of Bridgewater Bands!  We have a busy year ahead and we are excited to get started.
I wanted to extend a warm welcome to Mr. Brett Wilson, our new associate band director at Bridgewater Middle School!  Mr. Wilson, a trombone player, was most recently teaching in Iowa.  I know that Mr. Wilson is looking forward to returning to teach in Florida where he first started his teaching career and also working with our wonderful Bridgewater students.
I also wanted to make sure that as students were receiving their schedules to let parents know that the schedules are not necessarily final and the schedule that students will receive at Meet Your Teacher this Thursday will more accurately reflect band placements.  We have had some placement changes over the summer as well as name changes for the classes and the schedules given out thus far have not necessarily reflected those updates.  That being said, if anything on your schedule doesn't look correct or you are missing a band class (for example, you wanted to be placed in jazz band and it isn't on your schedule) - please let me know so that I can work with guidance to ensure that this is taken care of before the year begins.
I look forward to seeing everyone very soon!
Ms. Cannon

Bridgewater Band Info - 7/25


Good morning,

I am very excited to announce that the Bridgewater Wind Ensemble has been selected to perform at the 2014 Florida Music Educators Association conference in Tampa in January.  An entire concert will be dedicated to Bridgewater at this event where our students will have the opportunity to perform for all of the music teachers and music professionals in the state of Florida.

This is a wonderful accomplishment and we will start from the very beginning of the year preparing our program.  We plan to have many guest clinicians coming in to work with the Wind Ensemble and also a few guest conductors for this event.  More information will be coming home once school begins.

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer,

Ms. Cannon

Bridgewater Band Info - 7/17

Good Afternoon Band Families,

I wanted to let you know that I will not be returning to Bridgewater this school year.  I have been given an opportunity to serve as the District Resource Teacher for Music K-12.  While I am excited about this new opportunity, I will miss the working with the students at Bridgewater.  There are a lot of exciting things coming up for the Bridgewater Band this year; I look forward to hearing about all of the successes of the band students under the direction of Ms. Cannon.

I also wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for all of your help and support.  One of the greatest parts about teaching at Bridgewater has been getting to know and interact with the families and community.  I have been very fortunate to have worked with great kids in a school that values arts education.  The last six years have been an absolute pleasure.

Thank you,
Mr. Antmann

Camp

Good Afternoon,

This is a reminder that the summer camp registration deadline is this week!  Camp is starting to fill quickly.  Please remember that this camp is not only for current band students; it is open to all students entering grades 1-8, regardless of music experience!

We'd like to see all returning band students participate in camp if possible.  Please let me know if there is anything we can do to help make this possible for your child.  Students who attend will make 8-10 weeks of progress in 8 short days.

Students entering grades 4-8 who have never been in band before can participate in the beginning band camp.  We provide an instrument, teach them to read music, and teach them to play the instrument.  These students will learn enough during camp to perform in the camp concert.

Students entering grades 1-3 participate in the elementary music camp.  This camp is taught by certified elementary music teachers.

Here is the link for registration:
