TO: Parents of 7th and 8th Band Students

FROM: Dr. Wood & Ms. Spain

RE: Selection of Honor Band
________________________________________________________________________

February 1st we will audition all students and select the more advanced performing students to form this year’s Honor Band. This group will represent Mt. Pisgah at the Regional Concert Festival, at Ridgeway Middle School, on March 11th.

After February 1st, this select Honor Band group will begin serious preparation for Concert Festival. This preparation will include meeting twice weekly on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons until Concert Festival. If your student will have a problem attending these extra rehearsals, please email me and let me know. (dwood@scsk12.org)

We are writing this note to encourage your student to practice, so that they might join this select group. The Honor Band will consist of no more than the top 50 band students in 7th and 8th grade. Those who are not selected will not have after school rehearsal from February 6, until after Spring Break.

Those students who have a failing band grade, will not be allowed to participate in Honor Band regardless of how well they perform. Please encourage your student to turn in his/her weekly practice sheets. Failure to turn in practice sheets will cause you student to failing band grade.
