It's hard to imagine that the University of Cincinnati Clinic is in just 2 weeks! We are handing out the permission slips today during school and they are due back by next week. Below find further details on the short field trip.
Logistics:
The high school band is taking a field trip Tuesday, February 20th to the University of Cincinnati. We will be traveling by bus, and there is no fee for this trip. Students are, however asked to pack a lunch to save time getting back to the school. Busses will depart at 8:15, and we are looking to arrive back to Paint Valley between 4pm and 5pm. You can sign up for the concert band Remind by texting @pvcb to 81010 and replying with your name.
Purpose:
This is not a visit just for fun. While at UC, we will be receiving a clinic from UC Director of University and Athletic Bands Chris Nichter in preparation for OMEA contest March 2nd/3rd. It is very difficult to rehearse or give constructive feedback without the entire ensemble; as such, it is imperative that we have as close to perfect attendance as possible. After our clinic, Mr. Nichter has agreed to give a short tour of Nippert Stadium and talk about music at the college level including scholarship opportunities.
Next Steps:
If you have any questions at all regarding this trip, OMEA contest March 2nd/3rd, or anything else, please don’t hesitate to give me a call 740-634-2826 x14305 or e-mail me at [email protected]. If you are in need of a ride home after the clinic as we will be returning after regular bussing, there will be many students returning to the school at the same time and I am certain one can be arranged.
I am excited for this opportunity for our students to make music on a college campus with a professor of music!
