Note to Brass and Woodwind Students

On Monday Feb. 8 the band program will offer a help session for all DCHS brass and woodwind students who are preparing for the Perry Band Olympics. From 6:00pm-9:00pm three judges will listen to solos, duets, trios, and quartets for five minutes and then give five minutes of feedback. The judges will have Perry Ballots and will also give the student written comments. This is an outstanding opportunity for students to get comments from the founder of the Perry Band Olympics (Mr. Kinney), a regular judge of the Olympics (Mr. Englehart), and a mystery judge. Brass and Woodwind students are highly encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity for success. Students should have their numbered judge's copy of their music for the judge to use. Accompanist are not necessary for this event. Sign ups for the help session are on the band bulletin board and students are asked to sign up immediately. Information about the Olympics and be found at http://www.perry.k12.ia.us/HS/COCURR/PHSBAND/pbo.html Parents and students are encouraged to view this website to get all the information and directions for this very important competition.
