Director’s Notes
Hello Band Families!
We have reached the final week of first semester! I wish everyone the best on all finals!
This Thursday, we will be meeting at the regular time for Jazz Band rehearsal since we have a performance on January 19th! The timeline for the 19th will be released this week once all logistics are finalized.
This Friday and Saturday, 15 students will be participating in the North Shore Honor Band, which is a two-day festival run with nine other schools in our area. These students will be working with guest conductors, meet student musicians from other schools, and play excellent repertoire!
Variety Show Pit rehearsals will begin after finals week. The sign-up form will be posted in each class’s Google Classroom. The full pit schedule can be found here. Anyone who will be participating in the pit must attend the cast meeting this Thursday.
The Indoor Percussion schedule is available here. There will be rehearsal this Saturday, January 14th.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!
One Band, One Family! Mr. Brian Boron, Band Director, bboron@glenbrook225.org, 847-486-4437
