Revised Rehearsal Schedule For Next Week

This is what next week's (December 18-22) rehearsal schedule looks like now: 
Monday - Concert Band
Tuesday - Full Orchestra and Strings and then Jazz Band in the PM
Wednesday - Concert Band/Percussion Ensemble
Thursday - No Rehearsal
Friday - Both ensembles to prepare for WinterFest. Students should wear something Festive.

Winter Concert Postponed

Because of the weather and the county's decision to cancel all after school activities, our Winter Concert will have to be rescheduled. The Winter Concert will now be Wednesday, December 20 (all times remain the same). Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to seeing everyone there to hear the music our students have worked so hard to prepare.

Tonight was also supposed to be the final call for All County Band Audition Registration Forms. If your musician has not turned in one yet and wishes to audition, please email Mr. S directly at rstojakovich@aacps.org before 4 PM today.

More BSO Information

All students and chaperones going on the BSO trip should have received an email from Kristin Hurff this week with information about lunch venues, etc.  If you did not receive one, please email mrmsipboosters@gmail.com.

For Students Going On The BSO Field Trip

Dear parents,

The following selections will be performed next Thursday at the BSO side by side.  Unfortunately, with the ABC rotation, I will never have the opportunity to play these pieces for your children in class.  If your child would be more familiar with the pieces, they would find the experience more exciting.  They can use the time listening as counting toward their practice time minutes.
