Concert Band
Concert Band is for 8th grade band students. In this class we will continue to focus on the development of individual playing skills, with an emphasis on group performance. Performance experiences will include: formal concerts, school assemblies, concert band contest, solo & ensemble contest, honor band, parades, and elementary tour.
In getting off to a good start, you will need:
- band instrument (in good working condition)
- your Hawk Planner
- pencil
- band book: “Foundations for Superior Performance”
(if you don’t have a book by Sept. 11, you can order yours from Mr. O.
Percussion books $11.00, all other books $8.00;
Payable to “LMS” at the front office, show Mr. O the receipt.)
No weekly practice slips! Individual practice is a must to develop and improve playing skills. Students will still be expected to practice at home to prepare their music and playing tests to the best of their abilities.
Attire:
- For concerts: white tux shirt, black pants, black shoes & socks.
Also: black bow tie & cummerbund (provided by school). The Tux Shop will do fitting & take orders for tux shirt in late Sept. if you would like to get a shirt through the school. Cost: approx. $20.
- For parades: LMS Band jacket (provided by school), black pants, shoes & socks.
- For informal events & parades on a hot day: LMS Band T-shirt. Cost: under $10.
