Happy New Year!

As we move swiftly into 2024, things will be quite busy.  Pep band begins immediately with Green Band tonight (1/2).

Parent teacher conferences are on 4 evenings this month, and I am available for 3 of them.  I will not be available on Thursday, January 11, as  I will be traveling to Eugene for the OMEA Conference and All State events.

We have our Future Warrior concert on Wednesday, January 10 with the Sellwood and Hosford Advanced Bands.  Our Concert Band and Jazz Ensemble will also be involved in this concert.

As the semester winds up, every class will be having a recital for our chamber groups that just got started in December.  This will be the semester final, and students will be given plenty of opportunity during class to rehearse and get any needed assistance in preparation.

I am looking forward to a great finish to this school year as we head into our “festival season”.  The continued effort and dedication I am seeing from the vast majority of students in the program is great to see.  

I appreciate the support that comes from home to encourage these young musicians to continue to improve their skills (fundamentals) and musicianship (expression).
Pep Band is Upon Us

Pep Band starts up tonight!  Green Pep Band draws the first shift.  Each student has been assigned to either the Green or Gold Pep Bands (see band assignments here). 

Students are welcome to perform at all games, but they must perform at the games their assigned pep band is scheduled to cover (see assigned games here) or work to find a replacement player on the same instrument.
FOCB Meeting

Mark your calendars for Monday, January 8th at 6:30pm.  We'll be meeting in the band room.  Topics are likely to include fundraising for the 2025 Spring Trip and more!
Future Warrior Concert

The Future Warrior Concert is Wednesday, January 10th at 7:00 pm. Performances by: Concert Band and Jazz Ensemble, as well as Sellwood and Hosford advanced bands.

With the addition of a combined number at the end, Concert Band members must arrive by 6:10pm for a short rehearsal with the Sellwood and Hosford bands.

Please help us capture this event with photos and video!  You can upload them to our photo album or share them with us and we'll get them uploaded.
