Hi Everyone,
It is very exciting and busy time at the of end of the school year, band events are rapidly coming to a close, but there is still a bit more to go!
On this past Friday evening in Sacramento five of our band students participated in the CMEA All State Solo & Ensemble Festival at CSU Sacramento in Capistrano Hall. In order to participate in this Festival the students must earn a rating of Superior at our Regional Solo & Ensemble Festival at CSU Chico. This years participants who went to all state were Jackson Keith from 7th grade band and Zarek Livak, Andrew Bechdolt, Aaron Sutton, and Brandon Phung from the 8sth grade band. Not only did the students earn Superior ratings at our Regional Festival, but they all earned Gold Medals at the All State event on Friday. Jackson Keith also earned the distinction of a “Command Performance” for his rendition of “To a Wild Rose”. This is absolutely the highest rating a musician can earn!
Coming events will be exciting and fun. We are combining again with Truckee HS to hold our Trimester III concert at Truckee HS. The event will start at 6:00PM with a 5:30 call for all Musicians.
We are looking for donations of items to auction off (silently) at the May 30th Inner Rhythms/ACMS Jazz Band fundraiser. This event is happening at the Olympic Valley Lodge on May 30th in the evening all are welcome to attend. More details to follow.
I wish to say thank you to the Klovstad Family for being willing to host an end of the year potluck party for the band students at their home at Donner Lake. There will be more details to follow on this event as it firms up!
I will be out this Thursday and Friday to attend a Funeral in Las Angeles, but will be back Monday to answer questions.
Sincerely,
Mr. Humphreys
