Parents and Students:
We are already into an amazing Week 2 of Summer Band! Rehearsals have been great, and your students have been efficient and energetic! I encourage you to check out this article about band: “18 Lessons Marching Band Teaches Our Kids: A Parent’s Perspective.” The lessons the author speaks about are Music, Neurological Multitasking, Discipline, Teamwork, Camaraderie, Time Management, Sacrifice, Resilience, Flexibility/Problem Solving, Manners/Respect, Generosity, Education/History, Proprioception, Trust, and Practice. It is a great look into what the band program does for your child.
D.C.I. WATCH PARTY!!!
Drum Corps International, “Music’s Major League,” normally broadcasts their World Championships prelims competition in the theaters across the nation. They will not be doing that this year, but have no fear, we will still be bringing the event TO YOU! This is taking the place of a rehearsal and is a MANDATORY EVENT. Attendance will be taken.
