Please continue to work on your solos and ensembles on your own. If interested in after school help, please see a director. Entries fees for S&E will again be paid by the band boosters. Most solos require a piano accompaniment at AE. Students will be responsible for acquiring their own accompanist. We do have several people who are willing to accompany for $35 which will include two rehearsals and the performance the day of contest.

Jazz Band

Jazz Band rehearsals will be only one day a week (Thursday) until solo and ensemble is over so that we can have some extra after school time to work with students.

Band Members and Parents,

Welcome to another year in the Anthony Wayne Band program. Participation in a musical ensemble benefits a student in many ways. Not only do students learn to perform music, but also they learn how to function as a team and work together to create something that is impossible as an individual.

As we begin to develop into the band of 2011-2012, we will realize that we have a new group of friends to support and take care of. This family atmosphere makes band one of the most rewarding experiences in high school. We must all strive to help each other achieve at the highest level of which we are capable. Success cannot exist individually in an ensemble setting. Let's work together to be the best musicians and people that we can be.

In this handbook, please find a list of guidelines and expectations for all band members. If everyone is familiar with these expectations, we will accomplish more during rehearsals and performances and achieve at our highest levels.

Sincerely,
Roy Young
Band Director
