QUIZZES
If you miss a quiz, they can be made up on advisory days. You can make them up at brunch, advisory or lunch.  Quizzes cannot be made up during class.


BLOGS
Because of Performing Arts Day on Friday, we missed a listening.  We will make that up on Monday.             
Missed a listening? Visit the listening page to hear the piece you missed.  Your absence from class is not a reason to not complete a listening assignment and be ready for peer edits.  If you need to verify specifics of what you heard, check with a classmate or with me at brunch or lunch.

THIS WEEK'S HOMEWORK
This week's homework is our next unit in music history: the Baroque.  Pick up the handout on Monday; the Classmarker assignment can be completed in class.


WINTER CONCERT POSTPONED
The performance has been postponed to December.  Details will follow on Tuesday and this website will be updated to reflect new details.
