Jazz Band to Start in September

The UA Jazz Band is made up of students who have at least one year playing experience, AND can play well enough to add more to their work-load without overwhelming themselves.  Watch for details.

Practice Routine

Be sure to help your band be the best by establishing a great practice routine.

Practice Cards - COMING SOON
Your child should have been bringing their practice cards home each day and fill them in each time they practice.  In order to maintain a strong "A", they should have practiced 150 minutes each week (that's 30 minutes a day for 5 days). Non beginners are required to practice 100 minutes.  Remember parents, the cards need to be signed by you before they are turned in.  Also, be encouraging as you listen to these beginning sounds, even if you are dying to make a "sick seal" or "dying duck" joke!  Every student was issued a practice card, but if it has been misplaced, click here for another copy.

MPA Band Uniform

Check to see if you have everything for the correct uniform.
