High School Band Auditions:
When? Late March through mid-April My hope is that every band student continues in band throughout high school. Ann Arbor has some of the finest bands in the state, if not the country, and they offer great opportunities to perform incredible music, travel, and satisfy the fine arts credit requirement for graduation. Here is the audition information: Website URL: http://aapsauditions.weebly.com/ Password: a2audition2019 |
Performances
Concerts and other performances are scheduled way in advance of the event, and reminders are given in class. Attendance is required at all performances. It is impossible to recreate the educational value of a “live event” experience such as a concert. However, conflicts do occasionally occur. Students may make up the grade only if the absence is due to an unexpected emergency (e.g. illness, family emergency) or if the director approves the absence in advance.
* If transportation is an issue, notify Mrs. Boden as soon as you can, and she will help coordinate rides.
