Practice cancelled for Mon Sept 24

9/24/2018

Due to wet weather moving in, 40+ students will be absent due to THS events, and the fact that the band did so well over the weekend, I have cancelled practice for Monday, Sept 24.   Rain or shine, there WILL be practice on Wednesday, Sept 26.  Rest and study tonight, kids!

Great day all around.  Here's a video of the performance which scored (in exhibition) an 83.9 which is the highest of the day of all classes.  Bravo to Bonnie Forrest and all the volunteers!!!!

0 Comments

 
Marching Band schedule for the next two weeks:

Monday Sept 17 - Practice on main field 6-8 pm
Wednesday Sept 19 - Practice on practice field 6-8 pm
(Thursday, Sept 20 - Constitution Day at Anderson 9 am/2nd pd class)
Friday, Sept 21 - Home game
Saturday, Sept 22 - Trenton Invitational:  See schedule below
Monday, Sept 24 - Practice 6-8
Wednesday, Sept 26 - Practice 6-8
Friday, Sept 28 - Home game
Saturday, Sept 29 - Gibraltar Invitational:  See schedule below
Monday, Oct 1 - Practice 6-8
Tuesday, Oct 2 - Wyandotte Invitational:  See schedule below

We still have practices and events after Oct 2 but the next two weeks is crucial for attendance, work, performances, and practice for our success.  

NOTE:  THS football looks like they are in position to eventually qualify for state playoffs.  If they do and we host a home game (won't know that until the week of the game), that game would be on Friday, Oct 26.  If we would win that game, we move on to the next week and if hosting, that game would be on the following Friday night.  FYI

Students must be in band room by 6 pm on Friday, Sept 7 for the first home football game.  We will be in full uniform thus kids must wear appropriate clothing and socks under (details in band class and at practice from uniform moms).  

Cedar Point date has CHANGED.  Due to Queen's Judging at THS being on Oct 6, we have moved the Cedar Point day to Saturday, Oct 27.

Summer is over

9/3/2018

Starting Wednesday, Sept 5, all ten remaining evening practices (there's only six weeks of the marching season remaining in this short season - the final night practice is Wed, Oct 10), four home football games, and three competitions have required attendance. 

Any absence from any other than missing school that day ALL DAY ("if you get sick after school, Mr K needs an email from parents BEFORE practice) must be pre-approved by Mr. Kurilko via EMAIL CONTACT from parents (I must know that your parents know that you are absent BEFORE the practice or event in the case of last minute illness - absence without email will result in a call to the parent during practice) 

Work schedules, church youth group functions, and other non-school related activities do not excuse any band member from their attendance responsibilities from the graded academic requirements of the band class.  "Homework" is also not an excuse - there's plenty of time before and after any practice to do homework. 

A band class grade is no different than a math, science, or any other grade except that band class attendance at after school, evening, and weekend practices and performances are required in order to give GYM CREDIT as well as an academic grade.  

Absences due to school functions such as THS sports and other THS sponsored activities as well as rehearsals for high level area honors bands (Detroit Civic Jazz, etc) are exempt from Monday/Wednesday rehearsals (NOT PERFORMANCES!) but will result in doubling up of requirement for attendance for the NEXT practice.  Syllabus will be distributed and grading policies explained in class.  

Nutshell:  You joined band to be in band.  We have practices and performances.  The expectation is that you are there for both.  If you are there, you are fine.  If you are not, there needs to be an excused parent-made explanation just like how missing a day of school requires parent contact.
