Broncho Orchestra February 13, 2023
Hey Orchestra!
We’re now approximately three weeks away from contest. Please be diligent workers and flexible over the next few weeks as we push toward our Concert and Sight Reading Evaluation.
And please make every effort to be present at our rehearsals! Remember, rehearsals are mandatory and a prerequisite to perform at contest.
Please take a moment to read through these important reminders:
Assignments in Schoology
The Playing Assignments (which are test grades!) are up in Schoology. Please log in, check the due dates, and take care of them in a prompt manner.
Both assignments are now past due. If they are not turned in by midnight tonight, you’ll be playing in front of everyone in class tomorrow! (2/14)
Remember to go to “My Courses” to find the newly created course section, like I’ve shown you in class.
Once there scroll all the way to the bottom and find either Symphony Orchestra (for 2nd period) or Philharmonic Orchestra (for 3rd period). In your course you should see the 4th Six Weeks folder. If you don’t see that, you aren’t in the right course!
Contest Season!
Please remember that rehearsals and sectionals are mandatory and part of your grade! This calendar was distributed last fall so everyone had a chance to make accommodations. Check this week’s schedule below.
Remember, if you fail to attend enough rehearsals, you will not be allowed to perform with us at contest!
