Symphonic Band 3
Week of November 10 - 16

Congrats on an excellent spring concert last week!
Important EOY Reminders
As we approach the end of the academic year, there are several important reminders for students in Symphonic Band 3. Please read the list below and get these items added into your calendar:
- All school-owned instruments must be returned and left in the band hall no later than 12:40 PM on Friday, May 15. This incudes all double reeds, low-reeds, low brass, and at-home instruments that students might have checked out throughout the year
- Students have until Friday, May 15 to complete any remaining assignments on MakeMusic for our 4th Period class. Students who have trouble turning in the assignments may email them to Mr. Townsend at austin.townsend@risd.org
- Invite your family and neighbors to join us on Saturday, May 16 at the Applebees on Plano Rd to raise money for some marching band initiatives we have next season. You can find more info on the Berkner Band Briefing
- Students will begin using marching instruments in class during the final few days of the school year but will not take these instruments home until May Camp.
- May Camp is coming up! Please block out 6:45 AM to 11:00 AM for May 26-29. These are very important dates where we will continue learning the marching show, review important marching techniques, and continue to assess students for performance positions for the upcoming season.
