Jazz Band is set to begin shortly; we<br />
will have our very first rehearsal on<br />
Friday, November 4th. If you are<br />
interested in being a member of Jazz<br />
Band be sure to add your name to the<br />
sign-up form located on the wall<br />
outside the main gym. We need all<br />
standard band instruments as well as<br />
rhythm instruments such as keyboard<br />
(piano), guitar, bass, and drum set.<br />
All of the bands at <strong>Komarek</strong> are doing<br />
extremely well this year, thank you to<br />
students and parents for all your<br />
dedication and hard work. A note to<br />
students- Remember to take your<br />
instruments home on days you do not<br />
have band. At home practice is very<br />
important to the success of the band,<br />
and without an instrument it is very<br />
hard to do! If you are wondering how<br />
long you should be practicing, strive for<br />
25 to 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week.<br />
And make sure to practice something<br />
that is challenging to you, do not just<br />
repeat things that you already play well<br />
or material that comes easy for you.<br />
Challenge yourself; it is the best way to<br />
improve!<br />
Please make a note of these band<br />
dates for the <strong>2011</strong>-2012 school year:<br />
