A parent response to the 2010 Honor Band:

Congratulations on a SUPERB Honors Band Concert!!  Thank you for allowing our daughter the opportunity to participate in and learn from this wonderful experience.  Her grandparents were extremely impressed with the caliber of the musicians and quality of the music.  Her brothers were also inspired.  The time and effort you and your fellow Band For Today instructors put forth is truly evident and appreciated!

Every March, Band For Today hosts a solo contest for students. This contest involves students playing a solo before a judge. The students are rated on pitch, rhythm, technique, and presentation. First, second, and third places receive either a gold, silver or bronze medal and perfect scores with the solo memorized receive an engraved trophy. This is a great way for students to take a little more responsibility for their own improvement as young musicians.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION!

There are a limited number of tickets and they will be given on a first come first served basis. Do not give the form and money to your band director or school, please mail to our office. You may order as many tickets as you like and the band student DOES need a ticket. An adult needs to accompany a child. This is not a chaperoned trip. Parents are responsible for their children. When we meet at the stadium, the band directors will supervise and help take care of students during rehearsal and the performance but when we’re finished, the child will be the responsibility of the adult that came with them. Due to the Wolves ticket rules, please order as soon as possible. We will not process orders without money enclosed or without a parent or guardian’s name. Tickets and final information will be mailed to you approximately two weeks before the event. If we are sold out of tickets, we will refund your money.

Music

• After you sign up, your teacher will give you music
• Please practice and learn the music to the best of your ability
• This is fairly easy but fun music. We will put it together at the rehearsal the night of the performance.
