BLOG PEER EDIT
Our make-up peer edit is this Wednesday at lunch.  Men, we will do ours on Tuesday in class.


GRADING PERIOD ENDS FRIDAY
Missing assignments will be entered by Wednesday.  After I'm done, I'll notify you via Band.  If you're missing anything at that point, please fill this form out:  tinyurl.com/gradefixes. 

All homework assignments must be completed by 5 pm on Thursday, Feb. 27 to be included for this grading period.

Remember, at this point, fixing a grade is still fairly easy to do, but if you wait until the end of the next grading period, it may be too late.


YEARBOOK PHOTOS
Women's Choir/Bellissima: stay tuned for the make-up date.

GRADE FIX FORM
If something is wrong with your grade, let me know by filling out the "grade fixes" form.  You'll receive an email when I've addressed your concern. It is never too late to fix an incorrect grade.

Remember, I only work on grades on Wednesdays and Sundays, so do not expect an instant update.  Please allow a week for the update to reflect.

Picture
The Unsung Hero is someone who has selflessly gone above and beyond to help, inspire and be a positive example in class for others.

This week's hero is Sebastian Avila, who sings in Estetica.  Sebastian is a magnificent student leader, who is selfless in his dedication to our department and is the kind of student we all want to work with!

THIS WEEK'S HOMEWORK
This week's homework is on scales/solfege (yes, again—it seems we didn't all understand it last time).  Get the assignment done before this week's quiz and your class will automatically get 2 XCR points!

BLOG PEER EDIT
Our next blog edit is this Friday!  As soon as we're done with yearbook pictures, we will begin.  Be sure to have your blog ready to go.  If you are missing any listening assignments, please go to the listening page to make it up.

Speaking of blogs: the first peer edit of the semester was erroneously scored at 47 points when it should have been worth 40 points.  Scores have now been adjusted in the gradebook.


YEARBOOK PHOTOS!
We will take our ensemble photos for the yearbook on Friday during class.  Please bring your performance attire with you; no performance attire, no picture for you.  You will have a few minutes to change at the beginning of the period before we take the photo, and then you'll change into your street clothes again.  Women, you do not have to put your hair up, but red lipstick must be worn!  All students:  we *do* see your feet, so please bring your black socks/tights/shoes.

SING SHIRTS
The concert is just around the corner, and it's time to order shirts!  Please fill out this form by Wednesday, 2/12:  tinyurl.com/singshirts

GRADE FIX FORM
Grades have been updated (it's my new semester resolution) and are now calculating.  If something is wrong with your grade, please fill this form out:  tinyurl.com/gradefixes. You'll receive an email when I've addressed your concern. It is never too late to fix an incorrect grade.

Remember, I only work on grades on Wednesdays and Sundays, so do not expect an instant update.  Please allow a week for the update to reflect.


TIME TO RESET
We have earned every bit of the break that is coming our way next week!  I hope you'll take some time to study your music for "Sing" but more than that, to rest and relax.  We all need it!
Picture
The Unsung Hero is someone who has selflessly gone above and beyond to help, inspire and be a positive example in class for others.

This week's hero is Mia Andrews, who sings in Estetica.  Mia's sassy sense of humor, strong voice and work ethic are integral to our group!
