THE LOS OSOS BAND & COLOR GUARD “WEEKLY” For January 12 - 18, 2015 “Success is the peace of mind that is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming” – Coach John Wooden General Announcements:  THANK YOU – Dr. Andress wishes to extend a huge “Thank You” to the wonderful students and booster club parents who gave him the nice cards, Christmas gifts and baked goods this past month. Thank you so much!  INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC LESSONS – We cannot possibly overstate the value of a band student taking private lessons on his/her instrument. Aside from daily individual practice, obviously, there really is no other single way for a musician to improve their skills than to take individual lessons with a professional. These can be a simple half-hour a week, or an hour twice a month or (ideally) an hour a week. The band experience is a full group experience and does not contribute to individual growth of each player nearly as fast as private lessons can. Our master classes are like a group lesson, but individuals gain more from one-on-one attention. “Do you take private lessons on your instrument?” is one of the very first questions we ask students in any of our auditions; followed by, “How often?” and “With whom?” The following is a list of program-approved lessons teachers. Certainly there are other teachers in our area and many are fine people and well-qualified. THESE folks however have our highest endorsement. We will continue to add to and amend this list as best we can. GO FOR IT!

Donors of $50.00 or more will have their names printed on next year’s Regiment t-shirt! We extend a HUGE thank you to the following donors thus far! Please help us make this a reality!

Try to find a routine – get up a little earlier than you typically do. Eat something before you start your day. It’s important to set the tone for the rest of your day. 2) Relax. Find moments of calm in our ever-busy lives and schedules is important when it comes to maintaining a balanced lifestyle. These moments can be anything that you find relaxing, such as running, listening to music, reading a book, playing your instruments for pure enjoyment, or just sitting and breathing – we often forget to truly let our bodies and minds relax. 3) Detox from digital devices. Managing stress has become more difficult as fear of missing out has become more and more a part of our digital lives. Digital detoxing has become increasingly important as far as stress management is concerned – try turning your phone off for one day a week or a month. You might be surprised at how liberating it feels. As we continue to be more invested and deeply concerned with the online versions of our lives we bring on more stress and a more confused identity. Making time to see friends and family in person has been linked to people reporting feeling more fulfilled and happy. 4. Get some sleep. Getting plenty of rest is also a key part of stress reduction. If you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, try some of these tips and tricks. Keep a pad of paper and a pen next to your bed to jot down any lingering thoughts that are keeping you awake. Also, eliminate digital light in the wee hours of the night and reserve your bed for only sleep. All in all, incorporating even just a few of these suggestions into your new health routine will have you feeling a little more at ease and stress-free. When in doubt, just take a few moments for yourself and/or a few deep calming breaths. It’s truly amazing what a few breaths with intention can do. (by Haley Greenwald-Gonella as published in the January/February 2014 edition of Halftime Magazine)  AS A REMINDER – 1) Success doesn’t come easily. 2) People work hard to earn success; it’s a part of life. 3) If you want something, you need to work to earn it. 4) You are not entitled to things you haven’t earned. 5) Practice compassion for others: think about third world problems, then put perspective on your first world ones. 6) Responsibility for actions: there are consequences and rewards for our behavior and choices.  2015 REGIMENT CAMP DATES – Are now posted in the “Schedule of Events” area below. Please take note of these important dates as you begin to plan summer vacations. Only students who are able to commit to attending our camp in its entirety will be permitted at be a part of the 2015 Regiment.  HONOR BAND OPPORTUNITIES – Participation in an honor band provides a challenging, musically-rewarding opportunity for students and helps them to advance their musical knowledge and understanding beyond simply playing in their own high school groups. Honor group participation also looks great on college and university applications. Honor groups are “extra,” meaning that they are in addition to your first commitment, which is to your own program here at Los Osos. Dr. Andress does grant some schedule exceptions to honor band students when overlaps occur, but as always it is the student’s responsibility to work this out in advance. We encourage all of our band students to seek out an honor band experience this school year. The following opportunities are currently available: (Additional honor group opportunities will be posted here soon!)  COLLEGE BAND AUDITIONS & SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES – We encourage all of our Los Osos musicans to consider playing in college band, whether or not they plan to be music majors. College bands provide an excellent opportunity to meet other students from across the campus and from different majors. Different colleges offer different scholarship opportunities for incoming students, both music majors and non-majors. We encourage our seniors to research the music opportunities at the colleges of their choice and to continue furthering their musical experience! While our program does not endorse one college music program over another, we occasionally receive college band audition materials in the mail and offer this information to our students. The following college programs have sent us this information: Cal State Los Angeles Audition date: 3/7/15 www.calstatela.edu/mtd Pacific Lutheran University www.plu.edu/music Audition dates: 2/20/15, 2/21/15, 2/22/15 San Jose State University www.sjsu.edu/musicanddance Audition dates: 2/14/15, 2/28/15, 3/7/15 Sonoma State University www.sonoma.edu/music Audition dates: 11/8/14, 1/17/15, 3/28/15 Texas Christian University www.music.tcu.edu Audition dates: 1/31/15, 2/21/15, 2/28/15 The University of LaVerne www.laverne.edu/performance The University of Redlands www.redlands.edu/music Audition dates: 1/17/15, 2/7/15, 3/7/15 University of the Pacific www.go.pacific.edu/audition Audition dates: 1/24/15, 2/7/15, 2/14/15  N.H.S. TUTORING – The Los Osos Chapter of the National Honor Society is offering free tutoring in all core subjects in the LOHS Library every day during both lunches and after school on Monday- Thursday. Band & Color Guard students are encouraged to take advantage of this outstanding opportunity.  FAIR SHARE FUNDRAISING – For those that would like to raise money toward their fair share, please contact Kim Kawasawa for information via email at kimkawasawa@earthlink.net  PAYPAL IS UP AND RUNNING – We are happy to announce we now have a PAYPAL account set up to make donations to our amazing band and color guard program easier than ever.

Thank you for all your support!  DONATIONS NEEDED – The band and color guard program is in immediate need of donations of the following items. The school budget does not provide for these items. If each student could commit to bring even one item throughout the semester, it would be greatly appreciated, and will help preserve our precious budget money for more urgent issues like instrument repair. Thanks so much to those who have already donated! 1) AAA & 9 volt (square) batteries for our instrument tuners and metronomes. 2) Pencils. MONDAY, JANUARY 12, 2015  Zero period Concert Band and Wind Ensemble rehearsals in the Band Hall and Theatre, Winter Guards in the Cafeteria or Gym.  ASSIGNMENT (for all brass/woodwinds/percussionists in all band classes) – Go to the “forms/docs” area of www.losososbands.org and download the appropriate “Grand Master Natural Minor” scales for your instrument. Have this minor scale sheet in your 3-ring binder for this morning’s rehearsal. If your major scale sheet is missing from your folder, print that one too. All band students should have both major and minor scale sheets.  The Band Hall will be open today until 1:00pm and will not be open after school. Please plan accordingly.  Booster Club Winter Guard Show Planning Committee meeting tonight at “Coco’s” on Haven and Baseline at 6:00pm. Committee members, please be prepared to report on the progress made in your respective areas. Thank you! TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 2015  Zero period Concert Band and Wind Ensemble rehearsals in the Band Hall and Theatre, Winter Guards in the Cafeteria or Gym.  ASSIGNMENT (for all students in the program) – This Saturday, Jan 17th , 2015 we are having a Car Wash at Chick Fil A on Day Creek and Foothill. Please visit Sign-Up Genius (http://www.signupgenius.com) to sign up for a shift. Spread the word to your family, neighbors, and friends to come on by between 9am-1pm to get their cars wash! Cost is $5.00, we except cash or credit. Tips are always welcomed. We are in need of towels, so if you have any old towels you would like to donate that would be greatly appreciated. COLOR GUARD: Be sure to bring your flags. NO rifles.  ASSIGNMENT (for all brass and woodwinds in all band classes) – Reed/slide check today for 25 points. Woodwinds will have five (5) good-quality reeds on their stand for inspection. These reeds need to be out of the wrappers and should be rotated each day so that each woodwind student has a minimum of five (5) working reeds at any good time. Brass players will be expected to completely disassemble and reassemble their horns (all slides and valves out and back in) in a reasonable timeframe. This demonstrates that all slides and valves are in good working order and can be manipulated for proper intonation.  The music theory worksheet that is distributed today in periods 3 & 4 is due to the Band Box tomorrow at the beginning of those classes. Please follow the instructions carefully and ensure that your first/last name is on both sides of the paper.  Study Hall today from 3:15-4:30pm inside the Band Hall. This time is designed for those students who are staying on campus between the end of school and the start of the evening rehearsals. Tables and chairs are set-up in the Band Hall for students to do their homework and the room is kept quiet during that time.  The evening rehearsal schedule for tonight is as follows: Concert Band = 6:00-7:00pm @ LOHS Band Hall (Percussion Section #2 & 3) Wind Ensemble = 7:05-8:05pm @ LOHS Band Hall (Percussion Section #1) J.V. Winter Guard = 4:00-7:00pm @ Vineyard Junior High School Gym Varsity Guard = 5:00-9:00pm @ Vineyard Junior High School Gym  Solo & Ensemble rehearsals with piano accompanist in preparation for next Friday night’s concert will be in the Choir Hall tonight. Students will remain in their scheduled band rehearsals (above) until five minutes before their rehearsal time with the accompanist, and will then report to the Choir Hall. Immediately following the rehearsal with the accompanist, the student will return to their band rehearsal. The schedule with the accompanist will be as follows: Daniel Cobo = 6:00pm Adam Pacheco = 6:30pm Danielle Pente = 7:00pm Chantal Balta = 7:30pm * The performers who are on the program for next Friday evening but are not listed above are because they are part of un-accompanied acts and do not need to rehearse with the pianist. Although there is no scheduled practice time for the unaccompanied acts, it is expected that those students will make time to work with their duet/ensemble partners to ensure that next Friday’s performance is of the highest possible quality and professionalism. There are to be NO changes to the repertoire that Dr. Andress heard in the auditions; what we auditioned and chose is what should be performed. The unaccompanied acts are as follows: Kohl Silguero (solo guitar) Christian Fenner and Chantal Balta (duet) Kyle Rodriguez and Huntae Kim (trombone accompanied by piano) Huntae Kim (solo piano) Owen Kawasawa, Anthony Callisto, Austin Ma and Joshua Nelson (trombone quartet)    2015 CHAFFEY DISTRICT HONOR BAND – Congrats to our students who auditioned and were selected to perform in this year’s Chaffey District Honor Band. The rehearsals will be on Thursday, January 8, 2015 from 6:00-8:00pm (transportation on your own), Tuesday, January 13, 2015 from 6:008:00pm (transportation on your own) and on Thursday, January 15, 2015 from 9:00am – 2:00pm (school bus transportation provided, excused absence from school that day). The concert will be on Thursday, January 16, 2015 at 7:00pm (transportation on your own). Both rehearsals and the concert will be held in the Alta Loma High School Auditorium at 8880 Baseline Road, Alta Loma, CA 91701. Attire for the concert will be appropriate black dresses for ladies and full tuxedos for gentlemen. Jazz attire may be different and will be discussed at the rehearsal. Just as Tuesday evening rehearsals were “open” rehearsals for the Regiment, Tuesday evening Winter Guard, Concert Band and Wind Ensemble rehearsals are “open” rehearsals for parent/guardians, provided that they respect the work environment and are not disruptive to the rehearsal process. Please grab a chair in the back of the room if you wish. Come join us and watch us learn! We want to extend a HUGE thanks to Eric Evans and Vineyard Junior High School for making the arrangements for our winter guards to use the Vineyard Gym for our Tuesday evening rehearsals this semester. Because LOHS has three levels of boys and girls basketball and volleyball all competing for practice time in one gymnasium on our campus it has become impossible for our winter guards to get any gym time in the evening. This puts us at a disadvantage when we go to perform at WGASC events. Many other winter guards rehearse exclusively in gyms and much of our time is spent practicing outdoors where we are at the mercy of the elements and an unrealistic performance environment. Again, we want to extend our thanks to Mr. Evans and Vineyard Junior High School. Thanks for your support! WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14, 2015  No zero period rehearsals this morning. This is an excellent time for our students to schedule beforeschool make-up tests or tutoring sessions with their teachers. As a reminder, missing one class to make up work for another class is against school policy. Please schedule make-ups and tutoring so that they do not interfere with our zero period rehearsals. Thank you!  The music theory worksheet that was distributed yesterday in periods 3 & 4 is due to the Band Box today at the beginning of those classes. Please follow the instructions carefully and ensure that your first/last name is on both sides of the paper.  Master Classes today from 3:15-4:15pm for ALL students in the program. Reminder that our Master Classes are a graded, mandatory requirement for participation in our program. Athletes are required to attend and may return to their athletic practices after our master class is over at 4:15pm. If there is a game conflict, athletes need to speak with Dr. A about this well in advance of the conflict. Consistent absences from Master Class may result in a student being dropped from the program. THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 2015  Zero period Concert Band and Wind Ensemble rehearsals in the Band Hall and Theatre, Winter Guards in the Cafeteria or Gym.  2015 CHAFFEY DISTRICT HONOR BAND – Congrats to our students who auditioned and were selected to perform in this year’s Chaffey District Honor Band. The rehearsals will be on Thursday, January 8, 2015 from 6:00-8:00pm (transportation on your own), Tuesday, January 13, 2015 from 6:008:00pm (transportation on your own) and on Thursday, January 15, 2015 from 9:00am – 2:00pm (school bus transportation provided, excused absence from school that day). The concert will be on Thursday, January 16, 2015 at 7:00pm (transportation on your own). Both rehearsals and the concert will be held in the Alta Loma High School Auditorium at 8880 Baseline Road, Alta Loma, CA 91701. Attire for the concert will be appropriate black dresses for ladies and full tuxedos for gentlemen. Jazz attire may be different and will be discussed at the rehearsal.  EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY (for all students) – Attend the Chaffey District Honor Band concert tonight at Alta Loma High School (address in the above paragraph) at 7:00pm and submit a Dr. Andress-signed concert program to the Band Box tomorrow to earn ten (10) extra credit points for this current spring semester. Tonight’s concert is FREE. If you go, please dress appropriately and serve as an exemplary audience member (no cell phones or talking, etc.). FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 2015  Zero period (6:45am) Concert Band and Wind Ensemble rehearsals in the Band Hall and Theatre, Winter Guards in the Cafeteria or Gym.  ASSIGNMENT #1 (for all band students in all classes) – By today’s rehearsals, all band students will have a clean, neatly-organized three ring binder with their name on it, which contains all assigned sheet music. Music will be either three-hole punched or put into sheet protectors in such a way for the least amount of page-turns possible. Band students in multiple classes have the option of maintaining a separate binder for each ensemble, or one large binder for all of them, neatly sectioned out so that music can be quickly located when needed. These clean folders should have no remnants of marching band (no string, no tape, no dot books inside). These binders should be clean and professional-looking. There will be a binder check in today’s rehearsal, for a grade. Please be organized and prepared.  ASSIGNMENT #2 (for all students) – All instruments, music, and equipment will go home for the winter break. Also, the Band Hall is now a “Dinkle-free zone” meaning that both black and white marching band shoes need to go home and are no longer to be kept in our lockers. Missing locks shall constitute a failed locker check. This assignment is worth 25 points.  SOLO & ENSEMBLE RECITAL (required attendance for all band and color guard students per the “Schedule of Events”) – Tonight in the LO Theatre at 7:00pm. Call time for the performers is 6:30pm in the Band Hall. Call time for non-performing students is 6:45pm, seated in the lower section of the Theatre. Attire for non-performers is semi-formal or business attire (no jeans or tennis shoes). Non-performing students will sign in tonight in order to receive credit for their attendance. Students are expected to remain seated in the theatre for the full duration of the performance. Tonight’s recital should last just over an hour. In addition to our own students, this recital is free and open to the public. Bring a crowd! SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 2015  CAR WASH FUNDRAISER (for all students in the program) – Today we are having a Car Wash at Chick Fil A on Day Creek and Foothill. Please visit Sign-Up Genius (http://www.signupgenius.com) to sign up for a shift. Spread the word to your family, neighbors, and friends to come on by between 9am1pm to get their cars wash! Cost is $5.00, we except cash or credit. Tips are always welcomed. We are in need of towels, so if you have any old towels you would like to donate that would be greatly appreciated. COLOR GUARD: Be sure to bring your flags. NO rifles. SUNDAY, JANUARY 18, 2014  Jazz Band gig today at the Ontario Fury soccer game. Details are still TBA, so a call time sheet will be distributed this week in class. Upcoming Schedule of Events:  UPDATES are listed in bold type!  Please do not prioritize this list! All events listed here carry equal weight and importance in our minds and for our program. A parade performance is as important as a football game, as a booster club meeting, as a concert festival, as a jazz band event at the junior high school, as field show championships. If it’s on this list, it’s required, and it’s important. Please know this!  In addition to the school-day class-time rehearsals and the events listed below, Regiment (band and guard) students also participate in weekly marching band rehearsal every Tuesday evening from 5:008:30pm in the football stadium, beginning on the first week of school through until winter break.  In addition to the school-day class-time rehearsal and the events listed below, all band and color guard students also participate in a weekly master class rehearsal every Wednesday afternoon from 3:154:15pm at the band hall and quad area, beginning the first week of school through until the last week of school.  In addition to the school-day class-time rehearsals and the events listed below, Concert Band, Wind Ensemble and Winter Guard students also participate in weekly rehearsals every Tuesday evening, beginning in January and extending through until the last week of school.  “Call Time Sheets” which give specific details (when and where to arrive, what to wear, what to bring with you, etc.) will be posted on this “Weekly” page approximately ONE week prior to the scheduled event.

A parade performance is as important as a football game, as a booster club meeting, as a concert festival, as a jazz band event at the junior high school, as field show championships. If it’s on this list, it’s required, and it’s important. Please know this! Advanced-planning and accountability are very crucial to the success of our program! GO OSOS!
