Congratulations to the Band and Guard on a successful performance at the Blue Springs Golden Regiment Invitational! We are very proud of how our students have stepped up and worked this past week and look forward to our next events this coming Thursday and Saturday! Thank you to the many fantastic parent volunteers who helped to make Saturday run so smoothly!
Schedule for 10/4 - 10/10: Reminder that due to a change in League Football schedules we have a game on Thursday night this week. As was communicated in September, we also moved our usual Thursday rehearsal to Wednesday in order to keep on track with our progress. Adjusting rehearsal schedules is not something we do frequently nor take lightly. Wednesday's rehearsal will be shorter. Please also note the game start time for Thursday is 30 minutes earlier (6:30) than normal. KMEA Auditions: This week is our sign-up deadline for the KMEA All-District Honor Band Auditions. Students in Wind Ensemble are required to participate in the audition, and students in all other classes are welcome to participate as well. Details in Canvas for Wind Ensemble - all other interested students should check with Mr. Love. Blue Springs Results: The Blue Springs festival featured a range of programs and a wide variety of shows. We hope you and your students enjoyed the experience! The band placed 3rd in their classification and 7th overall. Scores between us and 6th place were very close, and we received lots of terrific feedback to focus our efforts on in the next few rehearsals. Professional photos form our performance will be available in the coming days. Links will be sent as soon as we receive them.
