Fall 2020 AU Woodwind Day We are excited to host this virtual event full of all things woodwind! From the comfort of your own home, you will be able to connect and interact with master artist-teachers, AU music students, and other woodwind enthusiasts from near and far. The event is open to all ages and all ability levels. It is our pleasure to say that we are hosting the 2020 AU Woodwind Day for FREE! This year has been full of many hardships and uncertainty, and though this is a small gesture, we want to open our virtual doors to as many people as possible free of charge. EVENT DETAILS: Saturday, November 14, 2020 1:00 - 5:00 CST Via Zoom (link will be sent to registrants) Sessions will include:
All registrants will attend instrument-specific master classes. During the classes, attendees will be able to watch and learn from the artist-teachers as they work with select performers and address the attendees. If you would like to be selected as a performer for any of the master classes, send the link of an unlisted Youtube video to [email protected] (or, email the video file directly to us). Videos must be received by November 7 and should contain the following: 1. Chromatic scale from your lowest to highest note (tongued ascending, slurred descending) 2. Two brief contrasting pieces of your choice. The music can be from etudes, solos, or ensemble music. Each recorded piece should be 5 minutes or less (you can play a section of a piece if the complete piece is longer than 5 minutes). You will be notified by email if you have been selected to be a performer in a master class.
Tuesday, July 28, 2020 To Band Members and Parents, As you know, last night, we became aware that a band member had tested positive for COVID-19. After conferring with district and school administration, precautions were taken, including informing our members and parents. Today, however, it has come to our attention that the student was in contact with more students outside of band and off-campus than was previously thought. Again, and in an abundance of caution, with administrative support, we are pausing camp and all other in-person band activities until Monday, August 3. We will resume camp at that time and will post an updated schedule as soon as we can. In order to ensure everyone’s safety, the following precautions and measures will be enacted:
Additionally, we ask for everyone’s help to ensure that our students are safe both on and off-campus. If anyone shows symptoms, please contact the directors and do not come to rehearsal. Students receiving a positive test or who show symptoms will not be allowed on campus until they can produce a negative test result or have quarantined for ten days from the first experience of symptoms. *If students or anyone in their household is tested, they may not return to campus until test results are in and are negative. Also, please fill out the attached Google Form to help us ensure that we correct and updated contact information for every student. As always, all of our students' safety remains our foremost concern as we prepare to return not only to band activities but to school as well. Sincerely, Matt Weaver Director of Bands |
