Rehearsal #7 was sounding tight! There is always feedback though…as discussed there is still a punch-list of measures that need personal/sectional practice. Please also spend significant time getting to know our new song selection. See Dashboard for specifics. Happy practicing!
Offered weekly and hosted by our junior and senior band members. Thank you! Students who lead or attend a session receive 1 point of extra credit. Sessions are held period 9, unless noted otherwise. Mrs. Kluga is also always available for help by appointment.
