Hi everyone! Welcome to the new ACMS Band Blog! I have never had a blog before so this is a new thing for all of us!
We took two bands to Reno Jazz Festival this weekend and they both did a great job. The daily Jazz Band scored the second highest rating... unanimous II's,!
The new "Competition Jazz Band" received two II's and one III even though they had only had a total of 6hrs of rehearsal prior to the event! Great work everyone!
I was a little stressed, to say the least, as we came up to this event mostly because that is what always happens to me!! In the end it all came together and the kids and I learned a lot at the Festival, which was a fantastic one!
One would think that now things would be lightening up a little, but there are still many events coming between now and the end of the year! Some of them just arriving this past week and weekend. Dates to make note of are:
April 22nd .... Open House at ACMS............................................ Daily Jazz Band plays for Bbq 5:30PM- 6:15PM
May 3rd ....... Washoe County Jazz Festival ................................ Daily Jazz Band invited to play..... 10AM North Valley HS
May 9th........ State Solo and Ensemble Festival .......................... Students who qualified at regional solo and ensemble
May 10th ..... Empire Mine Jazz Festival.......... ........................... Friday Jazz band ...... 12:30PM empire Mine Nevada City
May 22nd..... Trimester III concert all bands.................................. Location..... THS
May 30th...... Inner Rhythm's Event.............................................. Friday Jazz Band..... Olympic Valley Lodge 6-8PM
June 12th..... Graduation.............................................................. 7th grade Band/Daily Jazz Band
I hope that this is helpful for everyones advanced planning!
