Virtual Band & Auxiliary Students: Please remember, as stated in the Second Semester contracts that you are required to turn in a weekly video of your musical progress. These videos are due by Friday of each week. Unfortunately, we currently only have about half of the virtual students completing these assignments. These assignments are graded weekly. Please check Canvas for more details. Mrs. Robinson has gone over the material in class.
 
Band Picture Day (Wed. 2/17): We have tentatively scheduled band picture day for Wednesday, February 17th. These pictures will be for the 2020-2021 Marching Pride Composite, which will be displayed in the hallway outside of the band room. Pictures are will be taken during class in the marching band uniform. There is no cost to have your picture taken, but families may choose to purchase their pictures. If you would like to make arrangements for your virtual student to have their picture taken after school, please contact Mrs. Robinson at robina2@collierschools.com by Monday, February 8th.
 
Music Masks: From now on, all woodwind and brass students are expected to wear their music masks during class on a regular basis. Music masks will be required for all students during all PRHS performances. Students who are returning to in person learning in the second semester who did not do marching band season on campus, will have to purchase a music mask for $15.
 
Concert Band Season: The band will continue to prepare in their three groups: Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, and Symphonic Wind Symphony. After school rehearsals for band will start in the week of February 16th.
 
District Solo & Ensemble MPA (February 12-13): Solo & Ensemble MPA will be virtual this year on February 12-13. All performing students will receive a rating and comments from their judge. Since Solo & Ensemble preparation is completed outside of the classroom, virtual students may choose to participate in this event.
 
District Auxiliary MPA (February 13): All auxiliary groups will perform at District Auxiliary MPA. All Varsity Guard, Dance, and virtual auxiliary students are required to perform a solo at MPA. Auxiliary MPA will be virtual this year on February 13. Mrs. Robinson will submit a video of all performing groups and soloists who will receive a rating and comments from their judge.
 
District Jazz MPA (February 25-26): As of right now, we plan on taking both jazz bands District Jazz MPA. Jazz MPA will be virtual this year on February 25 and 26. Mrs. Robinson will submit a video of all performing groups who will receive comments from their judges.
