Hello everyone,
Here are the band announcements for this week.
Google Classroom
Our last Google Classroom assignment was due today, Monday, November 7 by 3:15 PM. Students who have not completed it may do so before 5th block tomorrow, Tuesday, November 8.
Winter Spartan Night
The pep band has been requested for Olympia’s Winter Spartan Night on Friday, November 11. Much like the fall preview, this night will feature winter activities from OHS in the OHS Gym. Activities that will be introduced are the pep band, boys swimming, speech, wrestling, boys frosh/JV basketball, dance team, girls basketball, cheerleading, and boys varsity basketball. The boys frosh/JV basketball teams, girls basketball team, and boys varsity basketball team will all scrimmage. The dance team and cheerleaders will perform. The pep band will perform during the scrimmages and all breaks throughout the night.
Call time will be at 4:45 PM. Dress is anything Olympia. The evening begins at 5:30 PM and hopefully will finish between 7:30 PM and 8:00 PM. Please contact Mr. B if you have a conflict ASAP.
Holiday Concert Rehearsal Plan/Recordings
It is the expectation that students are responsible for notes, rhythms, articulations, dynamics, expression, and etc for all of the music prior to it being due in class. Remember, rehearsals are for you to learn everyone else’s part, not yours.
Below are links to recordings of each piece that students should use as they prepare for the concert:

Student Help Needed!
Below are some ways we can use student help. Please contact Mr. B if you’re available/willing to help!
We need help setting up for the Veteran’s Day Assembly on Thursday, November 10 after the shuttle bus at 5:30 PM.
We need help checking instrument inventory. This is a quick process if we have multiple people that help. We can meet any day after school this week.
We need to put away the marching band equipment for the winter.
We need to put up the remaining part of the word wall in the band room.
Band Banquet
Help us celebrate this year’s successful marching band season with our End of the Season Banquet on Wednesday, November 16 at 6:30 PM in the OHS Cafeteria. The RSVP form for the banquet can be found by clicking here.
As always, please do not hesitate to email or call if you have any questions.
Thank you,
