We hope you are enjoying your break and getting plenty of rest for the busy spring ahead. We just wanted to check in and remind you to keep your instrument nice and warm while you're away. We want to begin the semester right where we left off after our amazing fall.
If you find yourself getting cabin fever during the holiday, here are some things you could work on:

• Technique: Major/Minor scales, lip slurs, long tones, rudiments, etc.
• Music Styles: Pep band, jazz (old and new), All-State excerpts, and concert band music.
• Instrument Maintenance: Check your pads, reeds, valves, and mouthpiece.

We hope this list helps those of you experiencing cabin fever! We look forward to seeing everyone really soon and wish you all a Happy New Year!
