Spring Clinics with Mr. Benzer

Many of you have already looked further ahead in the calendar, but I wanted to make sure and touch base about some important Saturday dates in the Spring.

We are fortunate to have one of the best band clinicians and teachers in the country, John Benzer, coming to work with our students several times this semester. Having worked with him for the last five years, I can tell you that the information he provides is invaluable in continuing the growth of the Creek Band program. 

Each student will be required to attend a 2 hour (2 1/2 hours for Wind Symphony) clinic on a few Saturday's in the spring. Please go ahead and put these on your calendar so that no students are absent. All students are expected to attend on the following dates:

• Saturday, January 26th
• Saturday, February 23rd
• Saturday, March 30th

The schedule for each day will be:

• 8:00am to 10:00am - Creek Symphonic Band
• 10:30am to 12:30am - Creek Concert Band
• 1:30pm to 3:30pm - Intermediate School Band
• 4:00pm to 6:30pm - Creek Wind Symphony

If you have any conflicts with these dates and times, it is imperative that you let me know immediately. Again, these are required events (much like marching contests in the fall) for all students.
