The Bayside Bands had yet another wonderful display of musical talent
last night and this morning during our annual Spring Concert! Those
hours of hard work and practice at home, at school, with the class, and
in masterclass sectionals really paid off! A huge thank you to every
student! You looked and sounded great! I am so proud of you all!
Masterclass
sectionals have now stopped for the remainder of the year. Students
will need to use the silent reading time to get caught up with core
coursework and silent reading. We shall resume masterclass sectionals in
the new school year.
Band classes will continue until the end of
the year alternating weeks with PE. Grade 7's will continue to work
through the Accent on Achievement book (the one we used last year), do some sightreading of new
pieces for next year, work on clapping and counting new rhythms, and
perhaps take our hand at composing. Students should continue to attend
class with all of their necessary materials: Instrument, Band book,
pencil, cleaning kit (including reeds, valve oil, sticks, etc).
