Honors Band Auditions Update- Thursday Evening

I spoke to the other band directors just now and we are having Honor’s Band Auditions on Monday March 9th. Those auditioning should report to the band room after dismissal to wait for the busses. The bus will take the kids to Mullen at 3:15 and students will need ride home from auditions after they are done auditioning. I would advise that students make sure to have their phones charged so they can call fro a ride when they are done. Yes, they will be allowed to leave when their audition is completed…no need to hang around. Some snacks will be available for purchase at auditions. Please be sure to bring instruments to school on Monday morning! And practice practice practice your scales (for winds and mallets) and rudiments (for percussion) over this LOOOOOONG weekend!

Thank you in advance for “rolling with the punches” this week. Between PARCC, the drama production and Honor’s it has been crazy! If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me atmrbrooksmusic@gmail.com.

Honors Band Audition Update

Honors Band auditions are scheduled to be held on Thursday afternoon at Ann Mullen Middle school. At the moment, there is a chance of weather complications. I spoke to the other two band directors this morning and this is our plan...

1. If Thursday is a full snow day, auditions are automatically moved to Tuesday, March 10. 

2. If we are in school or have a delayed opening, AND after school activities are cancelled, we will move auditions to Tuesday, March 10. An announcement will be made no later than lunch to the students and I will post an announcement to the "announcements" page on the band website, www.glenlandingband.info .

3. If we have a delayed opening and after school activities are NOT cancelled, audions will run as scheduled. 

Please note that an automatic email may not be sent out immediately when I post to the announcements page, so check the actual page around noon. 

I will keep everyone posted as I know more information. Hopefully all of this "weather" ends soon!!!
