Reminders
- Grade8's are reminded to return permission forms
- All Band students are reminded to return Optimist forms
- Students wishing to purchase an Optimist picture are reminded to return the picture form

Dale Lonis was supposed to join us this past week.   He got snowed in.   He was in New York with a cancelled flight.  Unfortunately, he was not able to make it here to join us.

Students are reminded to practice!   Optimist Festival is very quickly approaching.


Grade 6 Band
This week the Grade 6's did not have full band and Grant Road did not have sectionals.   Those students who we did see worked on the details of our Optimist pieces.     All students are asked to work on their trouble sections.    Students who had their pieces learned well have moved on to O Canada.    This is found on page 47 of our blue book.

Grade 7 Band
We are working at putting the final details into our Optimist pieces.    The Grade 7's will be the first group of the festival.     They perform Tues. March 17 at 9:00 am.    Students will need to meet at the Conexus Arts Center at 8:00a.m.    Dress rehearsal will be Mon. March 16 at 1:30pm at Campbell.  This is a Day 3.

Grade 8 Band
We've begun work on our final pieces for the year, Soul Bossa Nova and Afterburn.  With Optimist fast approaching we will focus on Joy and Country Wildflowers for the next couple of weeks.  Our dress rehearsal will be during our regular band time on Friday, March 13th.   Our performance is on Thursday March 19th at 11:15 a.m..
