Poinsettia Pick-Up Today!!!
 
The poinsettia fund raiser will be available after school TODAY from 3:45-6:00. Please come pick up your orders in the Cafeteria from either Mrs. White or myself!!!
Tux Shirt Orders

The end of the semester is soon approaching and that means that the HMS/TMS combined Winter Concert will soon be here. Thanks to your student's fund raising efforts we have raised enough money to outfit both Concert and Symphonic Bands with vests and bow ties. To complete your student's concert uniform we ask that they have black shoes, black socks and black dress pants. We have sized your students for their tuxedo shirts and they will be in before the concert. If your student needed a tuxedo shirt the cost of the shirt is $10, which can be paid either by cash of check made out to Hall Middle School.

5 Students from HMS Make the All-Region Band!!!
 
Christopher Walker (3rd Chair, Tenor Trombone, Symphonic Band)
Natille Barnett (14th Chair, Bb Clarinet, Symphonic Band)
Katie Mitchell (1st Chair, Bass Clarinet, Concert Band)
Aidan Beimer (1st Chair, F Horn, Concert Band)
Justin Martin (1st Alternate, Euphonium)
 
Both of these bands are very elite groups to get into seeing as there were over 800 middle school band students from across the region that tried out on Saturday. Each of these students will participate in the Region 7 Clinic and Concert December 3rd and 4th at Weatherford High School.

We have had a lot of GREAT improvements in the Hall Middle School Band program this semester and cannot wait for you to see the product of your student's hard work!!!
 
Symphonic Band Sectional Schedule:
 
Parents,
 
We have begun sectional rehearsals with the Symphonic Band before and after school. Concert Band students are also encouraged to attend these rehearsals if they are interested in being considered for Symphonic Band in the spring semester. During band class, all the instruments rehearse at the same time which makes it difficult to spend individual time with each instrument. Therefore, we must have rehearsals outside of class to work more individually with all the students. During these rehearsals we will be able to work on music and exercises that are specific to each instrument. This will drastically improve the students' musical skills and will lead to the overall success of the band program.
 
The sectionals will take place once a week throughout the school year (7:30 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. or 4:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.). The rehearsal is a grade and each student is required to attend. Please make every arrangement necessary to ensure your child will be able to attend each rehearsal. If your child rides the bus after school they may ride the Learning Zone bus home if they have an afternoon sectional. Your cooperation is essential to the success of the Hall Middle School band program!
