Good Morning,
- We still need five chaperones for middle school band night this Friday night. This is an event for Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Winds students. Please email me ASAP if you can help!
- Students auditioning for All-State band received their specific times yesterday. Auditions are this Saturday at Ocoee High School. Specific instructions will be sent home with them.
- Band T-Shirts will be here soon, are included in the fairshare fee. Please make sure that you have paid the 2012-2013 Fairshare ($35). This can be done at www.bridgewaterband.com. It is due by Oct. 1 for beginning band students, and was due Sep. 7 for all other band students. This fee also covers the band polo shirt for beginners only, which is the beginning band uniform.
- The school year is off to a great start! The beginners have started playing and we are getting ready for our first concert, which is the band pancake breakfast and fall concert on November 3. More information will start coming home next week about that event.
- Please encourage the students to practice at home. We don't have specific requirements for practice. Students have to make sure they are prepared for class and for upcoming playing tests. I'll send home some tips on helping your child (even if you don't have music experience) soon.
Mr. Antmann
