Instruments have been dropped, damaged, and abused to the point of not being able to play. I've recently informed students that if they drop, are careless with, or severely damage their instrument, the will be required to put the instrument away immediately and will not be able to play it at school until I have had a conversation with their parents about how we can more responsibly care for these expensive investments that either you or the school has purchased so our students can be successful. I hope this new policy will teach each student responsibility and stress the importance of being extremely cautious with their instruments and taking care of them. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding instrument care (davisel@rss.k12.nc.us). Let's work together to protect your expensive investment as well as the sound and progress of our band and your child as an individual musician. -Emily Davis- Welcome to the East Rowan High School Wind Ensemble! Please be sure you have turned in the following forms: Student Information Sheet Student/Parent Folder Agreement Locker Information Sheet Thank you for a great set of rehearsals thus far in the semester. Please review all 12 of your major scales in your practice session. Be sure to practice "Century Point" from the beginning to measure 44. Also, be familiar with "Fantasia on the Dargason" I'm looking forward to a successful concert season with you and am excited about the rehearsals we have had thus far. Happy Practicing!
