The next few months are going to focus on individual musicianship and improving our playing. Sectionals begin 10/31. Sectionals are essentially scheduled tutorials for band. Students will focus on their all-region music. This music is designed to push students to grow as musicians. In many cases this is the most challenging music they have experienced. Regular sectional attendance and personal training are most beneficial to students’ success in the all-region process.
