"Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much." --Helen Keller
We had issues at today's rehearsal. While we made progress today, the band was chatty and at times lacked focus. It was also apparent that only a small number of students took the time to take care of this week's homework. If you recall, the homework was for students to memorize the entire show. This assignment was clearly stated several days ago.
Most of you do not have Chopstix memorized. There are even some of you that don't have part, or all, of Ludwig & Wolfgang, Knuckle Concerto, or Claire de Lune memorized.
You have to remember, this is a team sport. We need everyone doing their part for us to be successful. Please take care of business tonight. EVERYBODY - ALL THE TIME.

RCHS BANDS ANNOUNCEMENTS:
- Forecast is mostly clear with a high of 59 degrees by 9 am tomorrow morning. It is getting colder!
- If you are interested in auditioning for the 2019-2020 HONORS WIND ENSEMBLE, please send me a message on Remind101.
- It is imperative that everyone practice tonight after school! Pay particular attention to Chopstix. We simply do not have the time to work on memorization in class. Learning and memorizing music is the student's responsibility. Rehearsals are for learning how your part fits into the composition, unifying the stylistic approach to the music, and how we move on the field.

I am at the school until 8 pm today)
