Director’s Notes! Hello Band Families!

Congratulations to everyone who participated in the Glenbrook Festival of Music! The Glenbrook Festival of Music brought together the musicians from GBS and GBN under conductor Sarah Catt from Elmhurst University. 

Trip rehearsals start this week! Our first rehearsal is Tuesday after school. Please dress appropriately for the weather- we will be going outside for a portion of the rehearsal to march. Also on Tuesday, there will be a meeting for everyone going on the trip at 7pm in the cafeteria. The trip rehearsal schedule can be found here. Any updates will be announced in class, via eblast, and on google classroom. 

On Saturday, the Pep Band will be playing at the Spring Sports Face-Off. Call time is 8:30am in the band room. Please wear Blue and Gold!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!

One Band, One Family!
