ENROLLMENT INFORMATION:
– band students should sign up for marching band, regardless of JV or varsity designation (1/2 credit). Exception, if you know you’re in varsity percussion, please sign up for “instrumental ensemble” class in the fall. Also sign up for symphonic or concert band in spring (1/2 credit). Final spring placement depending on auditions next November. Also sign up for Jazz 1, it’s a great class! The only prerequisite is to be in a large ensemble in addition to jazz (i.e. marching, concert, etc). Sign up for Jazz 2, if you’re already in that class. Auditions for jazz placement this May.
-NEW- Music theory offered block 2. This a great class, especially if you want to major (or minor) in music when yo go to college…it will REALLY help you! Open to all juniors and seniors. FYI- this is no longer an IB music class, it’s strictly music theory. Will discuss more in class.
-if interested in taking Med Sci class as a junior next year, you can still take band, so sign up! We are working out the details pertaining to how both semesters will work..don’t worry!
Colorado- ALL participants now have their username and password (document given in class). Parents, BEFORE NEXT MONDAY, please visit http://www.online.winterparkskimusicfestival.com/#/login use the username/password given to your child, and fill out all information…it should only take 10 minutes. They need this information ASAP. FYI- I cannot send the document electronically, it was sent to me as a 113 page PDF, which I had to print.

The bands are doing great this semester…keep up the good work!
