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 />
