Weekly Announcements

Dear 5th Grade Band Parents,

This email has 4 main points to communicate. I will try to keep it short! 

First, I want to say "THANK YOU" for your support at this last concert on Thursday. I was extremely proud of the students and what they accomplished. It was a great show.

Second, due to the Western Region High School Music Festival, which I helped ran as Region Director, I need to postpone Presto Auditions until next week. There was just no time this weekend to complete the video submissions and make sure no one was missed. I will be in touch later this week about second round auditions.

Third, the lesson schedule for the week can be found here: https://mhhsbands.blogspot.com/2020/01/january-20th.html

Fourth: The next session of our new jazz/blues ensemble has an open registration! You can register for the second session of our jazz/blues ensemble here: http://parksandrec.newfairfield.org/wbwsc/webtrac.wsc/wb1000.html

Thank you so very much for your time. I was incredibly proud of all the students on Thursday.

Emre Akter


Band Director - MHHS

We are going to go around the zoom and play what we have, and I will provide extra help to each person to make sure you have it!  5) We are going to try to play "Teacher vs. Class" 6) Today we will review the entire major scale. 7) Review Tonic Patterns and Dominant patterns on the instrument. 8)  We are going to try creating our own tonic and dominant patters today using our instrument.
