DHS Week 4.6

​This is the last week of the fourth six weeks. Parents should look at their students’ objective sheets. Each band class has weekly objectives that students should pass off either during sectionals, class, or via Schoology. All objectives must be completed by Wednesday, February 12th. All objective sheets will be turned in on this date in band class. 
 
Band Hall Hours This Week
We will have adjusted band hall hours this week, as the band directors will be out Wednesday through Friday for the annual Texas Music Educators Association clinic and convention in San Antonio. 
 
There will be no sectionals Tuesday through Friday of this week. Percussion sectionals will continue as normal on Monday with Mr. Finley. 
 
Please see the weekly calendar to see each day’s band hall hours. 
 
Finances
Please make sure all finances are up to date.  Payment may be made to the Band Booster Box at the front of the Band Hall via cash or check made out to Touch of Gold, or online through Charms via credit or debit card. All fees should be paid at this point except for March Private Lessons (Due March 1st) forward.  
 
Composition Project
Students in all three concert bands have also been working on a Composition Project this six weeks. These projects are due on Wednesday, February 12th. I encourage all families to listen to the music that your students have written! I have been very impressed by the submissions I have gotten thus far!
