EXPANDING HOW STUDENTS LEARN MUSIC
Marching Band will be performing at the second home football game this week, on Friday, Sept. 12. Participating students will be asked to attend a rehearsal after school (from 3:45-4:30), then we will do another dinner (4:45-5:45), have a pre-game rally (6:15 PM), and finally play the game (7:00 PM). Last week's dinner worked out great, thank you to everyone who contributed.
Parents - we are asking once again for help providing food items for the band dinner and help with serving the food. Here is the link to sign up for that.
Additionally we could use some more help with the game volunteering. There are a few open spots for helping out with uniforms, taking photos, and other in-game tasks. Everyone on that sign-up gets on the pass list for the game. Here is the link to sign up for that.
Thank you,
Newport Band Parent Association
The Newport Band Program is made up of hundreds of talented, motivated and energetic high school students. The program has a long running tradition of producing highly refined and gifted performing musicians. Band students at Newport are given the amazing opportunity to play and compete in a variety of quality ensembles, receive excellent instruction, perform in a variety of unique and exciting venues and represent their community all across the country.
Students who participate in our program are automatically inducted into the fantastic Newport Marching Band as well as our grade-level based large ensemble classrooms. In addition, students can audition for our exciting jazz program. What’s more, students have the chance to perform at local events, including school basketball games, assemblies, solo and ensemble festivals, and much more.
For our student athletes, we make it easy to be both athletic and musical, by accommodating practice and game schedules as much as possible to allow for the broadest participation.
The Newport Jazz Band program is well-known regionally, nationally and internationally.
The band is made up of Concert Band, Symphonic Band, and Wind Ensemble
