The CHIEF September 2020
Music Update
While virtual Band was definitely a new experience for us all, I think it is right to say every member of the PTHS Band is glad to be back in person. There are still some obstacles to overcome and some uncertainties, but we are starting in a great place. As many know, the marching season has been cancelled but Band members are still practicing to be better musicians and are preparing familiar pieces such as the color song for when it is needed. Since Band has been split up into two groups, lessons have become more individualized to some degree. As the Band starts thinking outside the box on ways to play together, they will start Tuesday rehearsals including all musicians while still using precautions. Another solution to make sure students are learning and being involved is personal Zoom lessons every week. Though Band looks a bit different this year, the Fine Arts department is constantly looking for new ways to keep music a constant in their students' lives. By: Alyssa Rodriguez Start Up Band
