Hello  Band Parents!


 
Happy New Year!  We are off to a
great start in 2018!  Third quarter is
the busiest time in the band world-concerts, contests, festivals, solo and
ensemble, large ensembles, fundraising and more.  Here are some things to keep everyone up to
date.


 
LARGE ENSEMBLES


Our large ensembles have started! 
We have a flute choir, clarinet choir, saxophone ensemble, trumpet
choir, horn ensemble, trombone choir and a tuba/euphonium ensemble.  Each group is coached by a professional on
that instrument.  Each group gets 8-10
rehearsals-once a week.  It is like
getting group lessons once a week.  There
is a cost to participate in Large Ensembles. 
It is $50.  Students can use their
student accounts to participate if they want. 
Large Ensembles is a GREAT opportunity for our kids.  It helps them become better musicians and it
helps our band program continue on the road to success.  It is not too late for your student to sign
up but they need to do so by next Friday, Jan. 19. 


 

INSTRUMENT RENTAL FEES


If your child uses a Liberty owned instrument, it is time to pay your
second semester rental fee.  Technically,
the instrument rental contracts say the fee is due by January 15.  Please have the fees turned in by January
30. 


FEES


Please check your fees.  Some
students still owe marching band fees for 2017 and band course fees.  Letters were sent home from Liberty High School
stating that fees needed to be paid in full by January 31st or it
may impact your child’s ability to sign up for classes. 
 


SAVE THE DATE


MARCH 10 is our 2nd Annual Mattress Fundraiser from 10am-4pm
in the commons at LHS.
