Cav Band Note #3

It's seems school just started yesterday and here we are at the end of the first 9-weeks. I wanted to let you know how proud I am of the musical work we are accomplishing in the band room. Both 7th and 8th grade Band Members have been working hard learning new scales, new terms and some really COOL music! We are striving for a better blend and balance. I wanted you to be aware that I will be leaving school early on October 16th at approximately 3:00pm. I am happy to meet or discuss your child's grades with you at any time. (Feel free to call or text)

The Jazz Band and I would like to extend a HUGE THANK YOU to Mr. and Mrs. Young for once again providing a trailer and driving us through the parade in Dallas. We also want to say THANKS to Mr. & Mrs. Flores for creating the COOLEST BANNER EVER and decorating our trailer! Everyone, both band members and parents had a blast! I personally want to extend a huge thanks to you, our parents/guardians, for encouraging your child musically and allowing him,/her to participate in Jazz Band! I do realize the commitment you and your family have made to your child participating in JB. In addition to building great friendships, making memories, learning loads about and performing incredible music we are learning how to be more responsible, respectful, working to build confidence, being grateful and more compassionate towards others.

Our first Concert of the 2025 school year will be held on Thursday, October 30th in the WCF Auditorium beginning at 6:45pm. This Concert will be full of PATRIOTIC & HAUNTING Music by our 7th, 8th Bands and our Jazz Cavs. It is sure to be a SPOOKTACULAR evening for all involved. Band members and I will meet at 6:00pm with the festivities beginning at 6:45pm! As always, our Concerts are FREE and for EVERYONE including parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends. I hope you will mark your calendar and bring your family to see all the great things your musicians have accomplished! All sibling's of elementary or preschool age are invited to wear their costume to the concert that night for a special parade!
