A reminder to please have your student print out a copy of Sleigh Ride to use for their concert recording. If you need a printed copy, let Ms. Kluga know and she will provide one.

Our rehearsal this week will be Thursday 12/17 from 2-3pm via Zoom and Upbeat.
Expectations:
1. Read Ms. Kluga’s e-mail from 12/10 and follow the instructions.
2. Practice with the A-ccompany app every day. Run each song.
3. Attend your sectional this week (see above). Swaroop, James, Michael and Colin, will send the zoom links.
4. You will make your final recording at Thursday’s rehearsal. Wear a button down long-sleeved black dress shirt and the craziest tie you can find.
Each year our Band Officers design an optional piece of YHS Band apparel. This year, they are excited to offer a charcoal gray quarter-zip, featuring our YHS Band logo on the left chest, and your student’s last name on the right chest. An order form and more information are attached. Orders are due either to Ms. Kluga at YHS, or dropped off at Sports Barn by this Friday 12/18.
Are you running out of reeds, valve oil, or cork/slide grease? This is the time of year when band students typically need to replenish these necessary supplies. It is also a time to think about possibly purchasing a new instrument or taking private lessons. If you have questions, Ms. Kluga is happy to help!
