BAND DIRECTOR'S UPDATE

To 5th through 8th Grade Band Parents; 
We hope this update finds you and your family well.  It has been a very busy winter for

our EILMS bands, diligently preparing for the Winter Concert.  It is just over a week away - Wednesday, February 26.  Please note location for this concert - EILMS Gymnasium.  More details below.

Concert Participation/Summative Assessment
The importance of concerts cannot be stressed enough.  They serve as the culmination of preparation each quarter, and serve as a showcase.  Illness or family emergencies are acceptable reasons for missing a concert; but all situations will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Students who are unexcused for a concert will not receive credit for the performance.  If a student is ill or otherwise cannot participate, the concert will not be included in the quarter grade.   If you know of a conflict with the schedule below; please contact Mr. Heath (5-7 Bands) or Herrmann (8 Band) as soon as possible.
