We're Back! I hope everyone enjoyed their break from band, but it is time to start playing again. We have a lot of fun music programmed for the Winter Concert and look forward to playing music with all of you again! This week only, we will be at Fruita Monument High School -- there was a schedule conflict at CMU. Fruita has been nice enough to let us use their band room this week; they have machining band practice so we will not have access to the room until after 6:30. Hopefully, you have had time to pick up a folder and at least look at your music. In case you missed our last email. folders are ready.
Music Folders
Have we mentioned folders are ready? The folders will be at Roper Music until Wednesday. Once they leave Roper Music, they will be available at the first two rehearsals. After that you will have to make arrangements with your section leader to get a folder. Speaking of section leaders, if you do not know what part you are supposed to play contact yours:
