Hope everyone had a fantastic break. Please read the notes below concerning All-Sate and other things coming up.
ALL STATE AUDITIONS/PRACTICES:
This weekend, All-State tryouts are taking place at the Albertville High School Coliseum. The address for Albertville High School is as follows:
402 E McCord Ave, Albertville, AL 35950
Registration opens at 8AM and closes at 10AM (AL Time). It is stressed that all students register by 10AM or they cannot audition. Once they register, they cannot leave the campus (this is due to the possibility your time getting moved up). The whole process is laid out in the link below:
All-State Information from the ABA
Audition Times for Ranburne High School (7-12th)
Please also remember that transportation to Albertville HS is on your own. I have to personally be there by 8AM for a meeting and judging auditions. Middle School students, please remember that you MUST have the Rubank book or you cannot register or audition.
I will be hosting the remainder of the week (Tuesday-Friday) All-State help until 4PM. If you have decided to not go, I need to know ASAP so I can let them know.
OTHER ITEMS COMING UP:
We are now in Music Performance Assessment season! In case you are new and do not know, both bands (7-8th and 9-12th) work on music until the end of February to be judged on at Gadsden High School. This takes place the last week in Feb. Note: there may be one or two after-school rehearsals for this. I will put these on the calendar ASAP and let you know.
Hope everyone feels refreshed and ready to start part 2 of the school year! Don't know about you all, but it is sure flying by!
Our band booster meeting is Monday, January 14th at 6PM. Please come and show your support for the program.
Sincerely,
Mr. Melton
