Can we change?

I love this video.  In my master's class, we are discussing how to make change and we viewed this video on YouTube.  Is it possible to make change happen?  How should we go about doing it so that it works and everyone involved understands why?

New School Year Items to Remember

The beginning of every school year is hectic.  It is unfortunately that way and sometimes things get missed because of the hussle and bussle of our children's lives.  Hopefully, this blog will help you with the items that we announce every day we see your students in class, and serve as a way for you to understand what is we do in band...it's not just about playing an instrument.

Items Due or Past Due

• Handbook Acknowledgement Form (was due Friday, Sept. 9)
• Percussion Fees are due ($60)
• Mr. Z's Fund Raising forms due Tuesday/Wednesday, Sept. 20-21
• Get the Choral & Rhythm Etudes book by Quincy Hilliard from Music Cafe - Students MUST have this book in class on Wednesday, Sept. 21

Items to do soon

• Enroll in the 8th grade band class in Smart Music
• If needed, renew your Smart Music subscription
• Students have had lessons so far, they started Sept. 12, do you have a schedule?  Log into Charms Office to download a copy - in the 8th grade band handouts folder.

We are busy rehearsing for our December concert and having a blast learning the new music.  At this point, I think the band favorite is Awake the Iron, but please remind your band student to practice all of the pieces so they all get better.
