Update - November 13, 2020
By now we have all heard of the shift to remote learning beginning Monday, November 16th.
Beginning Monday, November 16th, all winter season activities, including Winter Percussion, Winter Guard and all after school concert ensembles will cease practice until further notice. I believe the district will reassess this some time after the Thanksgiving holiday. I will be in touch when these can resume in person. Meanwhile, I will be talking to the staff to determine what the next steps can be for online instruction, should we need to move to this after the holiday season.
In addition, we will be reaching out with information on our Butter Braid fundraiser pick-up scheduled for Tuesday, November 17th. Please stay tuned as the closure of schools has affected this as well, and details remain to be worked out.
Meanwhile, I look forward to seeing your students online as we continue to connect and make music!! Please discuss with your student turning their cameras on so that I can see their beautiful faces!! I will miss seeing everyone in person/after school! Research has shown turning on cameras means more engagement and learning.
Just a reminder that Mon-Thurs will be synchronous learning- they must be logged in to all Zoom meetings to be counted present and fill out the online attendance form at the beginning of class. Fridays will be asynchronous (learning on their own time) and attendance MUST be completed before 1pm.
Wishing you peace and health this holiday season. I will continue to be in touch, and I promise that we will get through this together, as the team we have always been! We’ve got this Bears!

Wind Instrument Bell Coverings
You can use an old t-shirt, or whatever material you have available. You do not need to purchase material for this. I would like a double layer, with non-stretchy material if possible.
Here is an awesome video for a NO SEW bell covering. Please watch this short video.
