SCHS Band - MNR: March 13, 2023
Good Evening SCHS Band Members and Families,
We want to begin this evening's MNR by congratulating the combined concert & symphonic band and the wind ensemble on a series of outstanding performances at the 84th Annual MTSBOA Concert and Sight Reading Performance Assessments. It was great to see so many parents, friends, family, and alumni at these performances. We could not have done this without the support of all the band families, our feeder school directors, our private lesson staff, and our SCHS administration who believe that a great school deserves a great band program. We are truly blessed!
Here is your Monday Night Rundown (MNR) for the week of March 13:

TN Percussive Arts Society Day of Percussion - Saturday, March 18
We are excited for our percussion ensemble to perform at the Tennessee Chapter of the Percussive Arts Society Day of Percussion. Mrs. Derryberry has been in communication with the students. To recap - The percussion section should plan to arrive (students will be responsible for transportation) at Blackman Middle School by 8:30 AM. Dress will be the black band shirt and jeans without holes or shorts (if the weather is warm enough). Percussion students will need $10.00 ($5.00 for their entry and $5.00 for their lunch). Students will spend the day performing and attending masterclasses on percussion performance skills with some great percussion teachers from across Tennessee. Percussion students will finish at 3:30 PM.
Band Class Fees - March 13 UPDATE
Thank you so much to all the parents who are taking care of their child's band class fees. We have now chipped away and are sitting at around $11,900.00 in outstanding band class fees. We now have our bus bills to pay, not to mention our sheet music bill and our performance assessment fees. Please help the band program by sending in your payments with you child to the black box, or click on the PayPal links in your monthly statements to make a payment. Statements for March will be issued soon.
Absences from School and Notification Policy
Just a friendly reminder that we ask students to notify us via text message if they are going to be absent from school. This helps us to ensure accurate attendance records for all the band members and is also a soft job skill that we are trying to teach students so that they will be successful in their communication skills with their future college or workforce professionalism.
