Early morning band officially starts this week for all Grade 7 band students (Wednesday, January 11th), and resumes for students in Grade 8 and 9 (Thursday, January 12th).
Reminder: Early morning band is mandatory. Arrival time is 8 am, and attendance forms part of the student’s mark.
If a student is ill or has a legitimate reason for missing practice, please email Ms. Bolen at jcbolen@cbe.ab.ca, and she will assign the student a four page essay on The Importance Of Dynamics In Music And How It Contributes To Mood. Just kidding; she’ll give the student an excused absence.
Early morning band is not without perks: this year, we have introduced Breakfast and Band, where we will provide a healthy snack to all attendees at the commencement of practice. How can you help with this? So glad you asked! Please contact Elaine Gidluck at elaine@gidluck.ca, or Jackie Prokop at jackie.prokop@shaw.ca and they will provide you with details on how you can support our young musicians.
