Not too much to blog about lately. Just an update for the followers to know what is going on in the Band Department. 15 Students are working on solos/ensembles for S/E contest on March 21. The Concert Band is working hard on our pieces for Organizational Contest on March 28. They are starting to sound quite nice and I think we will be successful at contest.
We are also working on our self-discipline. Several students have gotten in the habit of doing whatever they want, whenever they want, and that doesn't fly in my classroom. I like to have my fair share of fun, but we need to know when to turn that off and get to business and have a quality rehearsal. It is a growing process as individuals as well as a band. There will be times that I have to yell (although I don't want too), times I get upset, times you get upset, but we need to all keep in mind the common goal and that is making this band the best band that Franklin Park has had.
Finally, I would like to let everyone know that we will be having a "Community Appreciation Concert" at Salem Theater on March 30 at 7pm. All 3 music groups will be performing (Band, Orchestra, Choir). We felt this would be a good way to thank the community for all of the support that they give our program.
Mr. Roberts
