Solo/Ensemble Information

Tenino Solo/Ensemble Contest Info
Feb. 4, 2012
Rochester Middle School

Solo and Ensemble Contest is an opportunity for students to prepare a piece of literature for performance for a specialist in their instrument area. Performing a solo or in a small group exponentially aids in the musical development of your student.
The SWWMEA regional solo/ensemble contest is this Saturday February 4th at Rochester Middle School. Students will be put into a performance time slot from 8am-4pm on this day.
Students performing at SOLO the cost is $10.00, Students performing an ENSEMBLE the cost is $15.00 (whole group combined) this must be paid to the Office (Ms. Blair at the High School or Ms. Landers at the Middle School) by January 6th (and receipt turned into Mr. Bowerly).
Schedules will not be released until two weeks before the event. Your student will perform between 8am and 4pm. You should show up to Rochester Middle School AT LEAST 30 minutes before your performance time. Warm up in one of the warm up rooms, arrive at your performance room 10 minutes early, and be ready to perform during your time slot. Mr. Bowerly may not be there before you perform as he will be running around trying to get to everyone’s performances.
Students should be dress appropriately for their performance. Concert attire is the best option, but dressing formally or nice is also acceptable.
Once again thank you for supporting your child and their adventure in music education!

REMINDER

Bowl Games

If you are watching the Bowl games on TV with your dad (or mom) make sure to listen to the marching bands play during the game! Sometimes the bowl even shows portions of the halftime show before they cut to commercial break or commentary. Lots of good music to be heard!!!

Concessions

High schoolers! We have concessions on the 2nd (day before school starts back up). Call time is at 5pm. Let Rosie know if you can help out! Make that $$$$$$$$. Go Band.

Comic

For more funny comics like this one check out tonedeaf comics!!! Lots of great gifts as well! AB

Break

Make sure you get out your horn and practice over break. Not playing an instrument for two weeks will cause your embouchure to get out of shape (much like not working out and what that does to your body). Coming back after break (HS) has a lot of Basketball games (2 hrs of playing) and (MS) is getting ready for solo ensemble and massed band! DONT GET OUT OF SHAPE OVER BREAK!!!

BBall Band 2012

TENINO BASKETBALL BAND 2011-2012 The Tenino Basketball Band will utilize itself as a full supporter of the Tenino Boys and Girls Basketball Programs. Date – Opponent (Call Time) Fri – Dec 16 – Girls/Boys vs. Hoquiam – 515 Mon – Jan 9 – Girls vs. Rainier – 615 Tues – Jan 10 – Boys vs. Rainier – 615 Mon – Jan 16 – Boys vs. Onalaska – 615 Thurs – Jan 26 – Girls vs. Elma – 615 Fri – Feb. 3 – Girls/ Boys vs. Montesano – 515 Attendance and Participation: Participation at all assigned games is necessary in the sound and quality of experience. The expectation is that all members of the pep band are in attendance at all games. There are 8 games that we are performing for (6 nights). The season is worth 800 points: 8 games at 100 points each (200 for each double-header) for showing up in uniform and on time. You will get points for all games you attend. If you attend partial games, you will receive partial credit. Uniform: The uniform for all games is the OFFICIAL TENINO BAND TSHIRT with our warm up pants. If you do not show up in proper attire, it will not count as an attended game. We maintain the tradition of uniformity and quality in ALL PERFORMANCES. There will be a few select “SPIRIT” performances where exceptions will be made, but the uniform is still standard. If we travel the complete uniform will be required for all travel Music: Standard pep band literature from the Marching Band Season (football) and additional tunes that are added specifically for basketball band will be the foundation of music played during the season. You are expected to have your flip folder; complete with music and lyre, at every game you are playing at. Playoffs/Districts/State: In the case that the basketball team does make the playoffs, pep band DOES travel to all games. Participation selection will be based on participation throughout the season in order to fill instrumentation. No one is guaranteed a spot on playoff trips. Dates and locations are also not known until very last minute, so understanding that and being flexible is very important.

HS Banditos!

Congrats to our HS Fall Concert Banditos!
