Practice After School this Thursday, October 15th

     We will have our first after school Rock Band practice this Thursday, October 15th. This rehearsal time might change to Tuesdays by next week as Thursday does not work for every student in Rock Band. I will notify parents again if this is the case. Please arrange to have your child picked up at 4pm this Thursday at the school.

You can contact me at dlkrauskopf@edu.pe.ca or call the school directly if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you.

Bloomfield Remembrance Day Choir

Bloomfield Event Choir:

Attendance and Concerts:

There will be at least three performances this year for the choir; Remembrance Day, Christmas Concert, and a Spring Concert. Students can join any one of these choirs when the first practice starts. These will be three separate choirs and students can join or leave after each event.

Expectations:

• Be to rehearsal on time.
• If you miss two practices in a row, you will not be in the choir anymore. Some exceptions can be made for illness.
• Maintain an organized music folder. Each person will receive their own folder.
• Rehearsal is to be productive and can only be that way without talking and interruptions.
• Work to improve yourself as a musician.
• No food or gum allowed during rehearsal- NO EXCEPTIONS
• Enjoy yourselves!

Music Folders will be assigned to each student. Students are responsible for the music as well as the folder that they are assigned. If the folder or music is lost, damaged, or stolen it is the student’s responsibility to cover the cost of replacement. If your folder is missing or music from the folder is missing, notify Mr. K immediately.

Schedule of Events:

Nov. 10th - Remembrance Day

TBA - Christmas Concert

TBA - Spring Concert

Information and event updates will be listed on the school music blog at:

After School Practice on Thursdays

Attn: Parents with children in Rock Band                                                           October 5, 2015

                Let me start by saying how happy I am to have your children in Rock Band this year. We have a wealth of talent and will have many opportunities for your children to perform this year. I have been holding rock band rehearsals during recess time so far but I would like to move it to after school so that we can have a more consistent rehearsal and can get more involved with the music we are working on. With that in mind, I am thinking of having rehearsal once a week after school on Thursdays from 3:00pm-4:00pm. If that conflicts with anything in your child’s schedule please let me know. Hopefully students and parents can arrange drives if some people cannot pick up their child at 4pm on Thursdays. You can contact me if this works or doesn’t work for you at:

dlkrauskopf@edu.pe.ca

I also update the rock band blog with any news and extra work for your children so make sure you check this site often.

Thanks very much!,

Devin Krauskopf
