March and April

March is almost over and April will be busy due to the annual "Forum Music Festival" trip planned for the last weekend of April. The band, choir, and orchestra make the yearly trip to Anaheim, CA to play at the Forum Music Festival, followed by a trip to Disneyland.

Our work is cut out for us, and students will be expected to practice DAILY at home in order to prepare for the festival, whether or not they are attending. Students will be graded, and some students can expect a B or C for the quarter for not practicing daily. It is obvious to an instrumentalist who has been playing for over 20 years whether or not a student has been practicing at home (and that instrumentalist is me, Mrs. Cowan, the one who writes these blogs)!!!

To those who are on scholarship for the trip, please remember that the scholarship pays for HALF of the cost of the trip. The full portion is $175. That does NOT cover cost for food. Feel free to pack some snack food but remember that food cannot be brought into the park.

Plan on playing the following:
Badge of Honor
Ceremonium
Aliens Landing
