PROGRESS REPORTS

I hope you all had a nice "Snow" Break.  I just wanted to let you all know to look for your child's Progress Report to come home with their report card.  If you have any questions about these please feel free to contact me.

We are busy getting ready for the County Wide Band Concert that will be held Thursday, April 11. Your child should be practicing the pieces I have listed on the "Practice Schedule" page of this website.   Please make sure to mark your calendars now so that your child will be able to participate in this wonderful concert.  All three Elementary School band groups will be playing together.  We will rehearse at 6:00 p.m. in the High School Auditorium before the concert.  All Elementary Band students will need to stay through  the Middle School Band performances.  I hope that you will be able to stay for the High School portion as well. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to see what they will be able to do in a few years.

One last item.  All students should be turning in Practice Logs if they want points for the Reward Box.  This Practice Log must be signed by a parent for the student to receive their points.  The point system is listed at the bottom of the log.  Please encourage your child to do at least 3 - 5 days a week.  This is the only way they can make the progress they need to play with the band as a whole.  Students can pick up Practice Logs from me at school or print one from this website.

Thanks so much for supporting your children and the King George County Elementary Band Program.

Happy New Year

I hope everyone had a wonderful Winter Break.  You all did such a wonderful job at your Winter Concerts.  Our next concert will be the County Wide Band Concert on Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. The concert will be at King George High School.  We will be starting our music for that concert next week.  You will find the updated band schedules on the "Band Schedule" page.  

As we get back into the swing of things I just wanted to remind everyone to make sure you are practicing.  Starting the 3rd Nine weeks you will have to turn in a Parent signed practice card to get your points for the treasure boxes.  I will make those practice cards available to you before the end of January and I will post one on the tools page so you can print another if you loose one.

I am looking forward to making great music with all of you and we start the New Year.
