     Dec. 4th-Light Up Bedford
     Dec. 17th-Christmas Concert @ TCMS

IMPORTANT STUFF

All 8th graders are invited to play with the basketball pep bands!  Come out 
and have some fun with the high school as we play some classics as well as 
some new stuff.  Its fun!!!(I will be handing music out for the games during 
class for all those interested.)

T-shirt money is NOT due yet!  Cost is still being decided.  I would suggest 
you prepare for a $10-$15 shirt.

PRACTICE REPORTS - CHANGE!!!!
Expectation:   5 days a week, 20 minutes a day for a total of 100 minutes 
per week.  MUST be signed off by a parent.  MANY STUDENTS ARE STILL NOT 
TURNING THESE IN.  AND YOUR GRADE WILL REFLECT THAT!!

PRACTICE!!!!!!  "Mr. Leedy, I don't know what to practice."  
Yes you do.  Whether its the scales we work on in class or the music we are 
playing, there is always something.  Especially the warm up and fundamental 
stuff we do as well.  Make it a routine. (See Homework link)
