On Wednesday March 13th the orchestra, Concert Band, and Wind Ensemble will be performing their festival programs at Fontana High School for the District Southern Ca. School Band & Orchestra Association (SCSBOA) band and orchestra festival.

They will be adjudicated by a panel of music educators who will sign a rating to their performance based on excellence. The ratings are 1= Superior, 2= Excellent, 3= Good, 4= Fair.

Each ensemble will be performing very challenging repertoire that requires intense rehearsal and individual practice and our student musicians have been diligent in this regard. Kaiser has received multiple Superior ratings for each of its ensembles over 15 years. Our ensembles our some of the most admired in Southern Ca.

The performance times are 1:30pm, 3:00pm, and 5:00pm respectively. Please come out and support some of the most talented student musicians in SoCal on the 13th. We look forward to seeing you.

The Band and Color Guard’s performance in the Tournament of Roses Parade was an incredible event that everyone involved will remember for the rest of their lives.

Anyone who has more to add, please email pictures to webmaster@kaiserband.org or upload videos to YouTube and then send the link to the same email address. Thank you!

Grooming reminder for Saturday

Just a reminder that all band students need to be clean shaven for parades and band reviews. No makeup, no nail polish and no jewelry. Hair needs to be short above the collar or put into a shako bun (everybody regardless of gender) and it all needs to fit inside the shako. If they don’t want the parent volunteers touching their hair, they need to have it in perfect condition.

Also, they should be clean and wearing deodorant.

Please make sure the kids eat breakfast. Arcadia is a long parade and we have a history of kids passing out because they haven’t eaten.
