Band Bulletin #2: 9/2-6

SEPTEMBER BAND BOOSTERS NEWSLETTER POSTED HERE!
(Many thanks to Michelle Shively for her outstanding work on our Newsletter)

EXCELLENT WORK at our first game!  I received the following email this weekend, which I wanted to share with you:

  • Mr. Wyse and Ms. Astey – I am the mother of a 9th grade band member at Holy Name High School. I had the pleasure of watching your band perform at the football game on Friday. All I can say is “WOW!” What a talented group of young men and women. It was clear that a lot of practice went into the show, and it truly was fantastic!

It is wonderful to receive this kind of positive feedback from our audience… Students, you are off to a solid start!  We will reflect on our performance, and discuss ways in which we can improve, at our rehearsal on Tuesday evening.
