Mr. T
Here’s a copy of the important forms for the New York trip.
Due Friday, March 8th: Practice this section of your music and record a playing test using SmartMusic at home or be prepared to perform a playing test on the computers during class. The benefit to completing your playing test at home is that you can practice and perform the test several times. You’ll have a 5-minute time slot to do the same in class, but you should spend plenty of time practicing the material at home so you are prepared — just like studying before a test.

Band folks! An unavoidable conflict has come to my attention. NEXT THURSDAY, the band was scheduled to play at the basketball game, however, it is also the same night as the NYC Trip CHOIR rehearsal. Therefore, we will NOT perform at Thursday’s game.
We WILL perform at Friday night’s game as scheduled. See you then!
Sincerely,
Clifton D. Thurmond
Good morning! Both of the bands and the percussion ensemble have gotten off to great starts this semester. Mr. Harrel and I are very proud of the progress they are making toward the contest season, but more importantly, growing as musicians. We are hopeful that the masterclasses we implemented this semester are helping in this matter.
Here are some bits of important information for you:
PHYSICALS
All members of NEXT year’s band will need a physical exam completed BEFORE July 15th. It must be a physical exam that was performed AFTER February 1st of this year to be eligible.
Attached you will find a flier advertising for a physical exam clinic sponsored by the school district where you can take care of this requirement right now. The two dates of availability are THIS Saturday, Feb 16 at LSWHS, and NEXT Saturday, Feb 23 at LSHS. Pre-registration is required, so make sure you call the Activities office at 986-4008.
