Good afternoon,

Hope everyone is enjoying their extended time off due to the recent weather. I wanted to touch base with the students regarding the rest of the week. 

1) Due to no school tomorrow, there will be no percussion ensemble rehearsal at all this week. Plan on Tuesday 2/3 for our next rehearsal from 2:45-3:45pm.

2) Myself, along with Mrs. Markiewicz and Mr. Piskach will be attending a professional conference on Thursday and Friday so we will be absent from school (if there happens to be school on those days...) Please plan on study hall time during those days. Symphonic Band will be in the band room both days, Concert Band will be in the choir room both days.

3)  There is a pep rally currently scheduled for Friday afternoon. The band will not be performing as we normally would since I will not be there. You should sit with your class on the home side for the pep rally.  

4) The Pep Band will not be playing at Friday night's basketball game as previously planned and as I have previously announced. Our final games are 2/10 and 2/17. 

5) The next Band Booster meeting is Tuesday 2/3 at 7pm in the LHS band room. Please make an effort to attend!

Let me know if you have any questions. I hope everyone stays safe, sound, and warm in the meantime. See ya when we see ya!

Enjoy the clip below as you are bored at home...from Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, you'll find Winter. You may recognize it from commercials (or ads, as you call them haha). It has been used for jewelry commercials and last year  for an Asics shoe commercial as well. Anyways, the opening is intended to depict the slow, persistent fall of snowflakes, and the rapid trills of the violins represent the chattering of teeth caused by intense cold.
