Welcome Back!

Welcome back! It’s getting to be that time again and we have another great year planned continuing our exciting events. Along with Solo Contest, Honor Band and Concerts we’ll continue to play for the Kane County Cougars and the Chicago Wolves! If you were a beginner last year, this will be your first change to play at the Allstate Arena. In January we will play some great music while 14,000 fans come into the stadium. Wolves hats for all, fireworks and a great hockey game!

Don’t forget to browse our website which has loads of educational articles, videos and pictures from last year!

We hope everyone had an enjoyable summer and we look forward to another fun and musical year!

Did You Know?

“The musician is constantly adjusting decisions on tempo, tone, style, rhythm, phrasing, and feeling–training the brain to become incredibly good at organizing and conducting numerous activities at once. Dedicated practice of this orchestration can have a great payoff for lifelong attentional skills, intelligence, and an ability for self-knowledge and expression.”

Please consider summer lessons for your child. Our students have acquired many musical gifts over this year and have made lots of progress. We don’t want them to forget so many good lessons.

Band For Today teachers are offering summer lessons. Flyers have been given to students and at your spring concerts there will be more information.
