It is hard to believe that the end of the year is rapidly approaching. I would consider this to be a very successful year on all levels and am very excited about showcasing all students on our Spring Concert May 8th.

For the last nine weeks, pass off requirements are:

6th
Woodwinds and Brass---- 15 pass offs from the book plus 5 scales from memory with arpeggios.
Percussion---- 5 snare drum from book; 5 mallets from book; 5 rudiments (open-close-open); 5 scales from memory with arpeggio.

7th
Woodwinds and Brass ---- 7 scales from memory with arpeggios
Percussion--- 7 Rudiments (open-close-open)

8th
Woodwinds and Brass--7 scales from memory with arpeggios and must be either 2 octaves or extended range. Concert Bb and Concert F are out. The idea is to perform different or new scales.
Percussion---7 Rudiments (Open-Close-Open). Flams, paradiddles are out. The idea is to perform different or new rudiments.

These will be collected Thursday and Friday, May10th and 11th.

7th and 8th grade bands will have 2 morning rehearsals before the Spring Concert and those dates will be April 26th and May 3rd at 7:30 pm.

The concert attire will be band shirts and jeans. Band shirts are still available for $17.50.  Please make checks payable to CMS.

 

 *** Students staying after school for pass off must be picked up by 4:30.

The U.S. Department of Education lists the arts as subjects that college-bound middle and high school students should take, stating ”Many colleges view participation in the arts and music as a valuable experience that broadens students’ understanding and appreciation of the world around them. It is also well known and widely recognized that the arts contribute significantly to children’s intellectual development.” A minimum of one year of Visual and Performing Arts is recommended for college-bound high school students. – Getting Ready for College Early: A Handbook for Parents of Students in the Middle and Junior High School Years, U.S. Department of Education, 1997.
