And why isn t Concert Band attending MSBOA Festival? And why is this event on a Wednesday? It has become customary that we explore the opportunity to travel with the high school Concert Band every two years. The years we do not travel, our Concert Band undergoes SPECIAL FESTIVAL EDITION the traditional MSBOA Festival experience. In years in which we offer the opportunity to travel, where commentary, clinic or adjudication is central to our travel, we explore an interdisciplinary event to engage other curricula of the school and and highlight the impact and commentary music makes on important events. This year, our students selected to perform a program called Letters Home. Produced once before at Beal City several years ago, this program features real letters from men and women in the armed services to loved ones throughout American history. Letters Home will be produced in conjunction with Ms. Gigowski s Drama class and both Ms. Gigowski and Ms. Marshall will serve as narrators during the production. Please mark your calendars, invite friends and community members and join us Wednesday, March 21 at 7:00PM for this moving tribute to the men and women who have put their lives on the line for our liberty. Talent Show Congratulations to all Isabella County Talent Show participants - but especially to our own Patrick Schafer and Emily Steffke who performed so very well on Sunday, February 5. You represented our program with amazing talent and class! WAY TO GO! IMPORTANT NOTICE ON PRACTICE RECORDS, PG 4 Do what you love and love what you do. 1
2 Beal City s Festival Experiences fes ti val n. 1. An occasion for feasting or celebration, especially a day or time of religious significance that recurs at regular intervals. 2. An often regularly recurring program of cultural performances, exhibitions, or competitions: a film festival. 3. Revelry; conviviality. CMU Jazz Fest High School Solo & Festival Winds Concert Band Festival Middle School Solo & For many years, our Jazz Band has participated in C e n t r a l M i c h i g a n University s Jazz Festival. Our students prepare three selections: one traditional swing chart, a ballad and a one contrasting selection, usually either a jazz-rock or Latin-inspired number. This allows three judges to hear and comment on our group s ability and development. Our Jazz Band has performed very well in year s past, garnering several awards. This year, our performance occurred on Friday, February 10 performance at CMU s Plachta Auditorium. Hundreds of students from area schools travelled to Owosso High School to perform for outstanding judges and re c e i v e i n s i g h t f u l commentary. This year, Beal City had a saxophone trio, a clarinet trio, a flute duet, a flute/clarinet duet, a horn solo, piano solo and alto sax solo participating. Each student participating receives extra credit for each ensemble they perform in regardless of rating. Please see flyer for additional stipulations. On the last Sunday of February, we invite a band director of high quality to work with our groups in a concert setting. This allows our parents and community to view what happens in the classroom, to hear expert commentary on our students progress before we perform at MSBOA Festival in March. This year s clinician is Mr. Jamie Denslow of White Cloud Schools. Festival Winds will occur on Sunday, February 26 Our first concert at 4PM will feature Jazz Band & 6th Graders; the second at 5PM, our Middle School band with a clinic. Due to a scheduling issue, the middle school band and high school Concert Band will not be performing on the same weekend at MSBOA Band Festival. Our Middle School Band will be performing the following Friday, February 16at 4PM at Perry HS. Each experience is similar: 30 m i n u t e s b e f o r e performance our group has a warm-up time; f o l l o w i n g o u r performance, we engage in a rigorous sight-reading process. Parents are highly encouraged to attend. It is a gratifying and exhilarating experience for all. Similar in scope to the high school, Middle School Solo & Ensemble Festival allows students of developing aptitude the ability to perform in small groups or as soloists. This year, students who chose to participate will travel to Perry High School for their performances on Saturday, April 14. Each student participating receives extra credit for each ensemble they perform in regardless of rating. Please see flyer distributed in class for additional stipulations. These opportunities are available each year to our students. While Band Festival is a logical our growth of the band curriculum and a graded activity, Solo & is an outstanding extra-credit educational opportunity for any middle and high school student. Preparation, while possible during class, must take place outside of class, too. 2 If music be the food of love, play on
3 S E Q U O I A C L U B Solo & Results from a triumphant afternoon at Owosso High School CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OUR STUDENT PERFORMERS Saturday, February 18 witnessed a great day for Aggie musicians! Seven events of eleven young ladies travelled to Owosso High School to perform in MSBOA High School Solo & - Here are the results! First to perform was Emily Steffke on piano. Her performance of a Grieg Nocturne garnered a First Division rating. Nearly 30 minutes later, Maggie Kolb performed a Minuet from Haydn on alto saxophone (accompanied by Emily Steffke) and received a First Division as well. Next to perform was Emily Steffke once again, this time along side Alexus Thompson in a flute duet. Their performance of We are the music-makers; we are the dreamers of dreams Larry Clark s Quintus was spirited and they too received a First Division! Another 30 minutes transpires and our duet of sisters, Larissa & Rachel Schwerin, played two selections for flute and clarinet. Some fine and helpful comments were given following their performance, resulting in a rating of Second Division. Now events began to occur even more rapidly! Mikaela Cotter, Maggie Kolb and Emily Schafer performed Carroll Butts Moderato and Allegro and received a Second Division. Next, our Clarinet trio: Eileen Cotter, Hannah Neyer and Manisha Cole. They performed Rondo Scherzando by Richard Winters. Another round of excellent comments were given following their performance, which resulted in a First Division. Our final performance of the morning was Melanie Schafer in a horn solo. She performed March Slav by Piotr Tchiaikovsky and received a First Division. A great showing for our Aggie musicians! By virtue of their First Division ratings, our Emily Steffke, Maggie Kolb, Melanie Schafer, Flute Duet and Clarinet Trio are eligible for State Solo & on Saturday, March 24! This is our largest eligible participation in over a decade! 3

Practice Records are readily available in the band room, online at the band webpage, or at jason@lowe-net.us so a PDF file can be sent to you to copy at your convenience.
