March 18, 2020 Band Update

March 18, 2020

Good afternoon,

I know most of you are enjoying your small vacation, but school and some work lie ahead as our county administrators are trying to right the ship on this uncertain time of hour by hour change. Most of you are not wasting your time, so for those who have taken off the last few days, it is time to get back to learning. Find something that interests you, and do some research on the subject while the UCPS finishes on how they are going to get you back to the table of learning. In the meantime, I have listed below a thank you to our program.

In the continued spirt of excellence, I would like to applaud and recognize the band members and band boosters of our band program. I would like you to know that the hours of selfless devotion, patience, performance, practice, and fundraising are not taken for granted by me. I do know that the team building skills our students learn and work with in our program will make them successful in their future careers and endeavors.

Last, the paper due today is not due until 4 day after we get back or when the UCPS opens the portal for learning, then you will have 4 days(school days) to get that to me. I look forward to seeing you soon and please take care of yourself and your family during this time of uncertainty.

Musically,

Keith James
