Change of Plans

CHANGE OF PLANS
Most of you have heard by now that Mr. Bosch ruptured his achilles tendon last weekend (playing volleyball)... his surgery is planned for this Friday, March 16. He will not be returning to CMS until after Spring Break. So, in order to keep things running smoothly with the CMS Band Program, I will be responsible for the upcoming festivals and competitions for the CMS Jazz Band and Intermediate and Advanced Bands, in addition to the WVHS Bands. I will be communicating on a regular basis with your students, so please ask them for any new information regarding these events.

Here is the calendar:

Monday, March 19 - Jazz Band Concert @ WVHS (7:00 PM) (CMS and WVHS Jazz Bands) - separate handout will be sent home tomorrow

Saturday, March 24 - Jazz NW @ Mead High School (CMS and WVHS Jazz Bands) - same handout

Tuesday, March 27 - EWMEA Concert Band Festival @ Ferris High School (WVHS Wind Ensemble) - handout on Monday

Wednesday, March 28 - EWMEA Concert Band Festival @ EWU (CMS Intermediate Band) - handout on Monday

Thursday, March 29 - EWMEA Concert Band Festival @ EWU (CMS Advanced Band) - handout on Monday

Friday, March 30 - SPRING BREAK BEGINS!!!

During the next two weeks, I'll be "floating" between WVHS and CMS to rehearse with your kids and prepare them for some great performances. Mr. Curtis (substitute) will be assisting me at both schools. Please have your student practice their music at home and be to class on time (esp. CMS Jazz Band). In the meantime, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your support and I look forward to seeing many of you at these upcoming events.

Director of Bands - West Valley High School

West Valley Performances at the Spokane Shock Game

Pre Game Show - Part 1 (they turned out the lights! Very dark! Hard to hear too!)
Pre Game Show - Part 2 National Anthem

Halftime Show (quick edit, 1-camera)
Halftime Show (2-cameras)

Believe it or not, the camera was level for the halftime show. The odd angle perspective is caused by a wide angle lens view and being located at about the 10 yard line high over the field.
