Our Spring Concert is just around the corner! I would like to extend a warm invitation to all St. Mary's Catholic School family and friends to join the Junior High Choir, 4th and 5th grade Beginning Band, and Junior High Band this May 10, 2018 for an evening of wonderful music making! The program will begin at 6:30 pm in the cafetorium at Holy Trinity High School. I ask that all instrumentalists meet in the cafetorium at Holy Trinity at 6:00 pm with their instruments and music.Thank you!


ATSSB Region Band

Middle School Audition music for ATSSB Groesbeck Zone Region Band can be found on the ATSSB webpage located under the Links subpage.
In addition to the two etudes, students must be able to play their scales by memory. This includes the chromatic scale. There will be a scale sheet with articulation patterns given to them the first full week of band. 

Deadline for submissions is November 25, 2017. Auditions will be held in Groesbeck  on December 1, 2017. More details will come.

Band Uniform

The band uniform will consist of the St. Mary’s Catholic School band shirt, Khaki pants, and their nice school uniform shoes. The uniform will be for both boys and girls. Skirts will not be allowed to be worn as part of the band uniform. This is due to the concern for proper length, seating on stage, and the position of the instrument.


Practice

Students Should Be Practicing: Embouchure, air support, good posture, good hand and instrument positions, long tones, lines assigned from the book, and any piece of music that I have handed out.


Parents: Practice is important for continued musical growth. Thank you for encouraging your child to practice.
