Good afternoon MSMS Band!
Here’s your info for the week:
Jazz Band Rehearsal
Jazz Band will rehearse on Tuesday, March 18 @ 7:15 a.m. in the band room. We will be starting to learn new music in preparation for the Shoals Area Night of Jazz, which is scheduled for the evening of Tuesday, April 22 @ Florence Middle School. More info to follow after Spring Break!
UNA Middle School Honor Band Applications
Interested 7th and 8th Grade Band students may apply for the UNA Middle School Honor Band. The registration details have been posted on the announcement page of their Google Classroom for their band class.
The deadline to submit the online application is March 31. When a student signs up through the online application, they will also need to sign the form on the back wall of the bandroom.
We should know who all was selected by April 4. If your child is selected, the dates of the honor band are April 24-26. They will not miss any class for this honor band on April 25 as we are scheduled to be out of school that day. There is a $65 dollar participation fee for the honor band that can be paid online for those who are selected.
We will not be taking a bus to this honor band. Parents/guardians will be responsible for taking/picking their students from UNA on those dates.
Good luck to all!
7th/8th Grade Played for the 5th Grade Last Week!
We are already looking forward to our next group of MSMS Band Members! The 7th and 8th Graders got to play for the 5th grade on Tuesday morning last week. We hope to see MANY of the current 5th graders in the 6th grade beginning band next school year!
Spring Concert
We have switched gears in all of our classes now that MPA is behind us. We are now primarily working on our Spring Concert music. We can already tell that this concert on May 8 is going to be a good one. We have some exciting music picked out to play and the kids are doing a nice job sight reading through it.
Parents/Guardians, please keep the evening of Thursday, May 8 open! It’s going to be a great concert!
