Our Beginning Band had an AMAZING first concert on Thursday! Your band directors are so proud of you all!
(I was unable to get a picture of the Trumpet, Saxophone, and Percussion classes. Parents, if you have any great pictures of the entire class could you send them to jensonm@friscoisd.org?)
Pearson Band Spirit Wear- Date extended!
For the first time in a long time, we are excited to offer Pearson Band Spirit Wear to our band families! Pearson Band members will still be receiving their yearly band shirt, but this spirit wear is open for the whole family. Currently in the store are a variety of t-shirts and sweaters/hoodies for when it (eventually) cools down outside!
You can view the Spirit Store by clicking HERE. Orders must be placed by October 18th and will be delivered to the school near the end of the month.
Fundraiser Finale- Redeem your coins!
Thank you all SO much for your support in this year's fundraiser. The money that you all raised will help the band purchase new music stands, pay for clinicians, scholarship private lessons, and so much more! Students now have 30 days to redeem their coins in the prize shop.
Practice Journals
All Beginning Band students should be taking their instrument home and practicing daily. During their practice time, students should play and reinforce concepts being taught in class and work on any material they are struggling to play. A daily practice habit is essential to becoming a great musician! Please help your student to build this habit by encouraging (and sometimes telling) them to practice every day.
Starting this week, all members of the Pearson Band have been assigned a practice journal to track their practicing and to help them develop practice habits that will lead them to success in band. This is a graded assignment due every block day (Wed/Thurs) and must be signed by a parent to be considered complete. The rubric and expectations for the practice journal can be found here.
Parents, the following is a fantastic guide for what and how your student should be practicing: https://practicingguide.weebly.com/
Amazon Wish List
We have received SO many items from our wishlist this year! There were several that did not have a name with the gift- If you purchased something off of the band wishlist, please know that we appreciate it so much!
