Announcements for Students and Parents

Parents,

On the website you will find an updated roster for the 7th and 8th grade honor band. Please know that all students did a great job. Students will need to have their commitment form completed and turned in by Friday October 5th. Please know this is an extreme honor to make this ensemble and it is an expectation for these students to rehearse two days a week after school. We will rehearse on Tuesdays and Fridays after school from 3:45pm-5:00pm. If you have any questions please feel free to email Mr. Gibson.

ALL STUDENTS WILL NEED TO HAVE THEIR BAND BOOK.
Students who have purchased their order through Pecknel Music has been placed and should be in by Tuesday. If you still need to purchase a band book and do not want to order it yourself or go to the music store, please make a check for $12 to Clover Middle School and Mr. Gibson will place an order for you through Pecknel Music 

If a student is not happy with their grade they can retake their playing tests before school or after school as many times as they want until the end of the 9 week grading period. All students will have to present their rubric from the original test before they can retest. Please email Mr. Gibson if you have any questions.

Jazz ensemble will rehearse Mondays and Friday mornings from 7:00am-8:10am. We will only have one Jazz ensemble. We had to combine groups to make a true Jazz ensemble. Students have received their music and should be practicing daily.

Several students will be selected to audition for York County Band on December 4th. More information will be provided to the selected students in the next two weeks.

Several students will be selected to audition for SC Region Band on January 12th, 2019 at Woodruff High School. More information will be provided to the selected students in the next two weeks.

All 7th and 8th grade students who want to perform in the Disney Festival May 2nd-5th 2019 will have to have their non refundable deposit of $250 in by October 26th. Please make checks payable to Clover Middle School. If the deposit is not in by October 26th students will not be able to go on this trip. We currently have 13 chaperones signed up for this trip. All chaperone information will be finalized within the next 3 weeks. The chaperone deposit is also $250. More information about this trip will be available within the next couple of weeks. Please continue to look at the website for any updates to this trip.

We are almost done finalizing students who transfers to a different instrument. If students are selected to play a school owned instrument, (tuba, horn, baritone, bass clarinet, tenor sax or bari sax) they will not have to pay any fee. Students will still be allowed to play their original instrument in another ensemble if they would like. Please email Mr. Gibson with any questions.

The winter concert is December 11th at 6:30pm in the CSDA. All students will report to the CSDA by 5:00pm for rehearsal before the concert. All students are expected to stay for the entire concert. All students should wear concert black for our winter concert. (boys= black dress shirt, black pants, black belt, black socks, and black shoes)(girls= black top, black dress pants, dress shoes or black dress that meets school dress code.)

If you have any questions please email . Mr. Gibson
