Band Concert at MEMS
Both beginning and intermediate bands from Marshall Magnet Elementary will be performing with the MEMS bands on December 10th. We are excited about this opportunity to join bands from across the city. Please ensure your student is at ALL rehearsals between now and then. We have a very limited number of rehearsals to prepare for this concert. Mr. McKay has graciously opened his concert to include us, Sechrist, and Puente de Hozho in his winter concert.
Please report to the MEMS gym at 6 pm for warm up. The concert should last approximately 90 minutes.
Please email if you have any questions.

3. On Tuesday, November 12, the Marshall Intermediate Band will be traveling to Prescott to perform a Veteran's Day Celebration at the VA Hospital and Las Fuentas Assisted Living Facility. This will be an all day event and their recent hard work will be performed to honor individuals who have served our country. More details and permission slips will be sent home next week.
Once again, thanks for sharing the kids with me! I thoroughly enjoy this part of my day and love watching them grow musically. I know it is making a difference for them academically, as well.

I'm With The Band
Welcome to our Marshall Magnet Elementary Band Blog. The purpose of this site is to keep families informed of band information, expectations, and cool apps and websites that are useful to the students. This blog can also be a useful place for students to communicate with each other about the topics and music they are learning about in band.
This past week, I asked the Intermediate Band students to look for a metronome app to improve their ability to keep a steady beat while playing their music.

Dr. Beat is my favorite, but any app that keeps a consistent tempo will work just fine.
Intermediate Band will be traveling to Prescott, AZ with the Sechrist Band on November 12, 2013 to perform Patriotic Selections at the Veteran's Hospital and at Las Fuentes Assisted Living Community to honor our Veterans. More details for this trip will follow.
I am also working on a first concert for our Beginning Band during late November.
