Welcome back!

[Mrs. Burnes]

I hope you all had a great summer! We are gearing up for a great fall.

 

We have a few changes coming our way. We have moved orchestra to 1st period for all upperclass students and to 3rd period for all 9th grade students. This move was to accomodate students who are enrolled in both band and orchestra. Additionally,  Wilson orchestra classes were moved by district mandate to the afternoon. Students in band and orchestra will rotate between the two classes. Here is how the first term rotation will work during the marching season.

 

August 21st- Oct 3rd- Band MWF, Orch T/Th

Oct 6th- Nov 14th- Band T, TH/ Orch MWF  

 

Students in 1st hour marching band will be dismissed from thier Early Bird obligations to make it to class on time for orchestra.

 

All-State excerpts have been posted! Here are the excerpts and information on Auditioning: http://www.ihsma.org/all_state_audition_info2012.shtml#orchestra

Thank you,
