We are preparing for a Music Festival experience at EFHS, Friday, March 6. We will need to be able to perform three pieces of music for outhouses and also a sight-reading piece. To help you prepare for this event we will be working on the following selections this week. Please take some time to prepare before or after school in the band room or at home. Don’t forget to call my GoogleVoice account to leave your recorded performance message for a grade. The number is posted on the Target Song Chart linked below.
We will need parent volunteers as well as students to act as set up crew. Please let me know if you would be willing to assist in this way. Ask yourself if you have what it takes to be nominated as Student of the Week. If you do meet all of those qualities you will be sure to assist us all in becoming the best we can possibly be.
Another option to play for me is by recording your song on Vocaroo and sending it to me as an email.
