Band Blast

Good Afternoon JICHS Band Family,

ONE MORE WEEK!!

I know we are all ready for some downtime from this whirlwind, which we call the school year.

As much as I feel all our groups are making amazing progress, and taking time off will definitely slow down that process, we all also deserve some downtime!

I am sure many of our students will be mentally checked out earlier than Friday, so I wanted to make sure I got out all the important reminders.

1. Concert Band after school rehearsal - Tuesday, Nov 19th - 4:00 - 5:45 pm

2. Our Winter Concerts are quickly approaching!

4.Dr. Bowles' Corner - This week we are talking about independent practicing.

Have a great week, and please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Dr. Bowles

Ms. Ticer
