Weekly Update 1/14/18

1/14/2018

 
Mrs. Robinson will be out sick tomorrow and the Marching Pride will not be performing the Naples MLK Parade. I apologize for the inconvenience. I know many of you will be disappointed and many parents rearranged their schedules to help chaperone, but the doctor has advised that I stay home to keep from getting anyone else sick. I hope to be back on Tuesday. After school concert band rehearsals are cancelled for Tuesday, but we will rehearse Wednesday after school with Symphonic Band and Wind Symphony. I’m very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

District Solo & Ensemble MPA: District Solo & Ensemble MPA will be held at LeHigh Sr. High School on either Friday, February 2nd or Saturday, February 3rd. All students are required to provide their own transportation to and from LeHigh Sr. High School. All woodwind and brass students are also responsible for transporting their own instruments.

Reminders for all band students:
  • All band students must have the required concert band attire by February 1st. Concert attire information can be found at http://www.prhsbands.org/forms--handouts.html. Students who do not have the proper attire will not be allowed to perform with their band on stage. Please contact Mrs. Robinson if you’re experiencing financial hardship and cannot afford to purchase this uniform.
  • All band students are expected to bring their instruments to class/rehearsal in good working order. If a student’s instrument breaks, it is their responsibility to contact Cadence Music or Christman Music to make arrangements to get it fixed and have a loaner instrument so they can continue to practice. Students are responsible for covering the repair cost of the personal instruments. Students playing on school owned instruments, who have paid the $50 instrument rental fee will not be responsible for covering the repair charge. Students who do not have a working instrument in class will lose daily participation points. Please take care of your instruments and remember to bring them to class!
  • Please remember that our after school rehearsals will start this month. Concert Band MPA will be here before you know it! Students with excessive absences (excused or unexcused) may risk the opportunity to play with their band at Concert MPA. Students who are not able to perform their music at a sufficient level may also lose the opportunity to play with their band at Concert MPA.
 
 
Reminders for all auxiliary students:
  • Auxiliary students are expected to “dress-out” every day in class. “Dressing out” is part of each student’s daily participation grade. Students who do not dress out in class will be put on probation from upcoming performances.
  • All auxiliary students are required to perform a solo in class by February 1st. Students are encouraged to perform these solos at MPA, but it is not required. This activity will count as a performance test grade. Students who perform their solos at MPA will qualify to audition for an officer position in the 2018-2019 school year.
 
 
Upcoming Fundraisers: 
 
  • Dancing Cubs Auxiliary Fundaiser (Friday 1/26): Our Auxiliary Team is inviting all students from Pre-K through 8th grade to come and perform with them at the home basketball game on Friday, January 26th.
