Marching Band and Color Guard Recent Happenings
Our Band and Color Guard finished up band camp with a very successful Rookie Day event! Our leadership and volunteers kidnapped our new members and took them to see a movie and then for a fun afternoon at the beach! Great way to let off steam and get to know each other after a long, exhausting week.
And they looked and sounded amazing after all of the uniform fitting and sewing, practicing, and preparing! A whirlwind of a few weeks for all of us!
If band members or parents wish to purchase an extra long-sleeved undershirt to wear with their uniform, Click Here!
APA Orchestra Recent Happenings
Orchestra started the year with their very first Orchestra Camp! It was a great way to bond, get to know each other and get a jump on playing together.
Jen and Julie had a blast grilling 80 burgers to feed our Orchestra last Saturday afternoon and the kids ate like royalty!
The students also had their auditions for Fall Seat and Ensemble Placements.
Results for the Shrek Pit Orchestra attached below!
Notes from Peter and Kyle
Hello, students and families!
This week, we completed auditions for our Fall Musical Orchestra, and it was an incredibly challenging process selecting students for this ensemble. The level and expectation of every student as they auditioned has risen in the past year, and we’re incredibly excited for the quality of the ensemble we will have for the show in October.
That being said, there were several students who had incredibly strong auditions that we sadly could not fit in the ensemble. Everyone had incredible potential, but with the pace of putting this show together, we have to prioritize the efficiency of rehearsal above all.
Students with a (U) are listed as Understudies. We will carry a few understudies for emergencies, but also to help several students begin getting their musical chops up to better prepare them for future shows!
A calendar will be sent out with all relevant dates and times for every musical rehearsal. All rehearsals for Shrek are mandatory, due to the very quick rehearsal schedule.
Thank you!
Mr. Myers
Mr. Bement
