SP East Band Updates

All band students have chosen a solo for study. As we begin second semester students have two options to perform and work with clinicians on their solos. The solo projects are completed with one of the options below.

SP East Solo Night - Thursday, February 12, 4:00-7:00 p.m. at SP East High School. Students that have chosen this option can sign-up for a time on the white board in the band room. Students may choose any available time that works for them. You stop in and play your solo for a clinician and they will help your keep improving. Think of it as a mini lesson.

SP Solo/Ensemble Festival - Saturday, February 14 at Patrick Marsh Middle School. Students choosing this option have already registered. The schedule for solo/ensemble will be posted in the front of the band room this week. The schedule for solo/ensemble is available here.

Please email Mr. Mesner with any questions.

We are looking for volunteers to help make our Solo/Ensemble Festival at Patrick Marsh Middle School on Saturday, February 14 a success. If you have some time available on that day and can help support students at the festival please take a look at this sign up. Thank you!
