7th-8th Band - Solo/Ensemble and Chair Tryouts

Hey band...updates on a couple of things:

• We will NOT be going to Solo/Ensemble festival as it is listed on your Band Calendar, but we will instead be holding it at Lavaca. I do not have a specific date or time yet, but it will not be an all-day event, and will more than likely be held during the school day. As soon as I have more information, I will post it here and share it in band. All 8th grade students will play an individual solo; I have already started passing them out in sectional rehearsals.

• Your chair tryout test will be Wednesday, February 7th, during band. Be prepared to play the following:

• Anything from Visions of Aranjuez;
• Anything from Courage March; and
• Anything from #1-25 in your EE 2000 Book II ("The Red Book")

This is a graded test, and will be a part of your 3rd 9 weeks' grade--don't blow off
practicing for this!


Mr. Coats
