Northville High School Band

Composer Dr. Bruce PearsonWe had a great meeting today with composer, Dr. Bruce Pearson! Students asked many, many great questions, but we sadly ran out of time. Here's a link to a VERY short form (name and Q!) if you have any other questions: https://forms.gle/SuDfvoFi5frbMrJk9
Open to everyone, not restricted to NPS. I will also post the meeting if anyone would like to watch the recording.

 

Bennett and Bo Chenowith along with siblings played for their neighborhood. Feel free to keep sending #playontheproch or any other videos demonstrating how you are sharing your gifts!

Hello NHS Bands!

I miss you all so much! I hope you and your families are all healthy!

These are certainly unprecedented times. Although MSBOA has had to cancel both symphonic and jazz State Band Festivals, we are continuing to provide enrichment and pre-teaching materials to prepare you for the rest of the year and beyond.

We will plan on meeting with you in real time for the first half hour (at least) of your first class of the week, with a slight "sleep in" adjustment for jazz. For this week, we will meet in person on Wednesday, 3/25 (SB11/12) and Thursday, 3/26 (Jazz, SB10, SB9), but going forward, it will be on Mondays and Tuesdays. As always, we will continue to be in contact via email, and Remind, and will be providing at least 3 points of communication and updated activities each week. See the attached schedule for more detail.

Students were assigned a marching band uniform during Band Camp in August, and if applicable (SB10, SB11/12, Jazz), will be assigned a tuxedo in November. Every effort is made to best fit each student with the marching uniforms and tuxedos that are available. Please help keep them in great condition for years to come by following the Uniform Care and Wear Instructions noted below.
