We have a lot of new music to practice along with practice logs to fill out. Our next upcoming concerts are in March. On March 10 the Advanced Band will travel to the ABODA Jr. High Band Festival and will perform three pieces for a rating by judges. Then on March 16 both bands will perform together at the Amphitheater High School District Band Festival. That is an evening concert and parents bring students to that concert.
On March 10, students in advanced band will leave school around 12 (after eating lunch) and will get on a bus to Catalina Foothills High School. There they will hear other bands before their performance at 3:30. Our bus should return to La Cima by 4:30 pm. Please be prepared to pick up your children by then. If you cannot make arrangements to have your child picked up, I will drive a van and deliver them to their bus drop-off.
March 16, parents and students come to Amphitheater High School's Auditorium (Yavapai south of Prince) at 6:30 for the Amphi Band Fest. The band will sit together while the parents sit in a different area. Please plan on staying for the entire concert so you get a chance to see the other bands! Concert starts at 7 and lasts around one hour.
The Forum Music Festival is April 29. We leave on a chartered bus in the evening, play our concert in the morning, listen to other groups and stay for the awards ceremony, and then go to Disneyland! All students have recieved their packet so if anyone lost theirs, let Mrs. Cowan know!
The final performance of the year is scheduled for May 3 (new date!!!!) in the MPR. This is in conjunction with the fine arts fair. Jazz Band will also perform in the lobby.
Please remember that most of these performances are worth most of the students' grades! If you have any concerns please do not hesitate to contact Mrs. Cowan!
