From Mrs. Kretschmer
YIS 5th
Grade BAND
All the instruments are here, most of the books and material
too! We’re off to a great start and I’ve very proud of these young musicians.
Smart Music is coming!! Be on the lookout for a
parent/student night to explain and demonstrate the software and what it can do
to improve playing.
Please remember that concert dress is required for the
Winter Concert. Black shoes and socks, black pants or skirts/dresses, white
shirts. Also, the school dress code applies.
We want to present ourselves as a unified band to our
audience.

Grade Band
It’s great to have so many players back for their second
year.
Honor Band Auditions are coming up. All band students have
their audition material. I will record their audition and send that recording
to the judges who review the auditions and choose the honor band members based
on their playing ability. Students who are selected for Honor Band will
participate in the Honor Band rehearsals and concert attended by the best
players in the Northern Zone! I’d love to see the entire band make it to honor
band. Practice that chromatic scale and the other excerpts!!
