Spring Trip this weekend! For updated info including suggested packing list- check out the Tour 2013 page! Please note, all chaperones are asked to attend a brief orientation meeting Wednesday night during the parent meetings in my room at 8:00. Parents are encouraged to drive their students to school on Friday morning so that student's cars are NOT left in the parking lot over night.
Auditions should now be complete. If you did not audition last week during the audition window, please plan to play for me Monday or Tuesday after school. Are you a saxophone player? Thanks to an abundance of sax players- I need volunteers to try another section. If you would like to learn trombone, baritone, tuba or maybe even percussion- let me know as soon as possible. I will be able to check you out a school instrument for you to work on over the summer. Remember that the more instruments you play, the more opportunities you have in the future (and more scholarship possibilities, too). For those students who may be waiting on admission to PHS, please audition for me anyway. I'm working with our administration and the school district to get as many music students into our program as possible.
CMEA Band & Orchestra is coming up next weekend. Concert Band & Wind Ensemble will go to Gilroy Friday night and the Orchestra will be at Independence HS Saturday morning. All the details are on the CMEA Festival Post.
Our end of year concerts are scheduled for May 22-23 at 7:00 in the PAC. Wednesday will feature Beginning Band, Concert Band and Jazz Band. Thursday will feature Wind Ensemble, String Orchestra and Symphony. I'm aware of the Castillero concerts the 23 and 24 and am trying to figure out a way to work around those. Until you hear otherwise, our concerts will proceed as scheduled.

Join the Orchestra, Wind Ensemble and Jazz Band for our Spring Concert on Wednesday at 7:00 in the PAC! More information, including program info is posted on Facebook, here. Call time for band students is 6:30, orchestra students is 6:45. Students who are swimming the final events in the swim meet should plan accordingly! Because the track meet was moved to Thursday, the performance will still begin at 7:00 in the PAC. Admission is free!
Audition Information- for questions or to sign up for your audition time, check out the Audition Info page. If you're a new freshman next year, be sure to attend Freshman Planning Night this Tuesday from 6:00- 7:30 in the PAC. Whatever band class you plan to audition for, know that everyone just signs up for band and I'll place you in the correct ensemble. Orchestra is the same- just sign up for orchestra then do your audition after the break.
There has been a change of plans for our Spring Trip April 26-27. Due to the SF Symphony strike, I had to cancel our booking with the SFS and have instead booked tickets for us to see jazz legend Chick Corea in concert Friday night! This will be a great program! Check out the Tour 2013 page for more info.
Times for CMEA for Wind Ensemble & Orchestra have now been announced. Concert Band & Wind Ensemble perform on Friday, May 3 at Gilroy HS. We will depart PHS at 5:00 pm and return to PHS at 10:00 pm. We will be taking school buses and will need several parents to ride along with us and watch us perform. Orchestra will perform Saturday, May 4 at Independence HS. Transportation TBD, but our window is from about 10:00 am to noon.

Audition Information has been posted! Be sure to get the information and sign up for your audition time. Click here to go to my Audition Info page.
Come check out the Pioneer production of Hello, Dolly! this Friday and Saturday and next Wednesday through Saturday. Curtain is at 7:00 and tickets are available at lunch in the quad or at the door prior to each production.
The Jazz Band will be performing with Castillero for their annual "Jazz Around Town" fundraiser concert Saturday evening March 30 at San Jose State. I don't have the details yet, but anticipate the call time will be between 6-7 and the students should be done by about 9:30. For information about ticket orders, please contact me.
A gentle reminder as we get back into our Listening Logs; students who are absent are welcome to make up their work on Monday during S period. Also, if students need extra time or additional help with the writing process, they should come in during S period. This week, I will even grant an extension to those students who were in class, but just wasted time and didn't get the assignment done. Moving forward, however, students who are in class but don't do the assignment will not get any additional support. Students who are absent or students who need more support will always be welcome to come in during S period and complete their work.
Plan to join us on Wednesday, April 3 for our Spring Concert. Orchestra, Wind Ensemble and Jazz Band will be presenting all new music that we've been working on since the Benefit Concert. The program will begin at 7:00 and admission will be free.
I'd like to thank the following parents who are scheduled to chaperone our San Francisco weekend; Mr and Mrs Hubbard, Mrs Liebscher, Mrs Raimondi, Mrs Schumway Lipps, Mrs Yetkinler, Mrs Archambault, Mrs Thompson and Mr Carrillo. We are looking for one more dad who could travel with us. If you can join us, please contact me ASAP- chris_mccoy [at] sjusd [dot] org. If you have any payments left, please make those right away. If you need to extend your payments, do extra fundraising or need more financial help, let me know so that I can arrange that for you.

THANK YOU to everyone who put in so much work to make our Benefit Concert a success! Thanks to Mrs Summers, Mrs Kanga and Mrs Taher for leading our efforts and to the dozen other parent leaders and the dozen or two more volunteers who made that evening possible.
In addition to our Benefit Concert, Jazz Band performed Friday morning for nearly 1,000 valley leaders. Thanks to Mrs Grimaud, Mrs Canteenwala and Mr Carrillo for driving for us and making this event possible!
This week will be a much slower week in classes. Monday will be a day to clean up and debrief. There will even be a day or two this week where Wind Ensemble, Orchestra and Jazz Band may have a homework or practice day.
Rehearsal for Hello, Dolly! will be on Monday and Wednesday at 6:30-9:15. Please be prompt!

Our Benefit Concert is on Saturday! If you missed the email I sent out earlier this afternoon, read it here. There's lots of important information about volunteering, tickets, raffle, student call times and more! Don't forget that you must get your tickets by Wednesday for your student to earn their $5 credit for each ticket sold. Get your tickets here! Raffle tickets are also due by Wednesday for your student to earn their 80% account credit. Use this link to our facebook page to invite your friends, too.
Congratulations to the Jazz Band for their outstanding performance at CMEA on Saturday! This week, we have our Joint Venture gig at the convention center downtown (Parkside Hall). We need parent drivers for this event! We will meet at school at 6:30 am (I know, it's early) and return some time during 4th period (around 11:30). We need drivers for each direction, but you don't have to stay the whole time. Students will even have quite a bit of time off stage to work on homework or other things. We've done this performance since 2005! Let's continue to show these valley leaders what Pioneer can do! For more info about Joint Venture, check out their website.
We are still looking for a few more parents to join us as chaperones on our Spring Trip to San Francisco. The cost for chaperones is just $150 for the weekend! We are going to have a great time, but we need more parents to make it happen. Check out the info here, and be sure to send in your tour contract so I can add you to our list!
Hello, Dolly! practice this week is Monday from 6:30-9:30. Next week, we'll rehearse Monday and Wednesday 6:30-9:30. Please be prompt so we can start on time! Remember your pencil!

January 22-25
The Band & Orchestra Benefit Concert is fast approaching! On Friday, we'll be taking photos during each of the three classes and students need to have their performing attire. Orchestra students should come dressed in their dresses and tuxes and bring a change of clothes. Wind Ensemble & Jazz band students should bring their clothes to change into during class time. These photos will then be available for purchase at the concert. VIP and Reserved tables have already sold out, but there are plenty of individual tickets still available. Raffle ticket pre-sales also kicked off last Friday. Much more information is available in an email I sent to all participating students and parents. If you missed that, get the details here.
On Friday, I distributed account statements to students in Jazz Band, Wind Ensemble and Orchestra. There are still many students who have yet to pay for expenses from the first semester. It is imperative that you either pay for those costs, or use the fundraising opportunities for the Benefit Concert to help you. Remember, students earn $5 credit for each ticket and 80% of the raffle tickets sold in advance. Fundraising info for the Benefit Concert is on the Benefit Concert page.
I'm glad to see the number of students participating in our Spring Trip continues to increase. I am looking for several more chaperones though. If you are interested, please contact me or get more info on the Spring Trip page. There are a few families who paid the original deposit and still have an extra positive account balance. In this case (and this case only, since it was my mistake), I am happy to give you Benefit Concert tickets and raffle tickets up to the value that you over paid. There are only a few families in this situation, but if you'd like to take advantage of it, please email me so that I can set aside your admission and raffle tickets.
Because there was no school on Monday, rehearsal for Hello, Dolly pit orchestra is Wednesday. Students have asked for rehearsal to be moved to 6:30-9:30. This will be our rehearsal time until after the ski week break in February.

Band & Orchestra Benefit Concert- This week, students will get raffle tickets to begin selling. Tickets sell for $3 each or 4 for $10, and students make 80% of that as account credit. The grand prize this year is going to be an iPad! Raffle winner need not be present to win, so sell those tickets to friends, neighbors and anyone else who wants to support our program and have a shot at an iPad! In addition to the raffle, we continue to collect donations for our Silent Auction including dinners, hotel stays, golf, entertainment packages and more. If you would like to help us purchase some of the things that go with the raffle and auction, please consider sending in a $10 donation to "Pioneer Performing Arts" and we'll include a free raffle ticket! VIP tickets are sold out, but we have several reserved tables (seats 6) and plenty of individual seats available. Students earn $5 to their account for every ticket in advance.
Today, I saw Brian Hubbard (11th grade, French Horn) perform with the Santa Clara County Honor Band. What a great performance! If you attended, be sure you turn in your Live Review this week to get your extra credit! I will not give extra credit for honor band reviews beyond the one week deadline.
If you participated in the We Care Coffee fundraiser, please get your money turned in right away!
Musicians for Hello, Dolly! should check out the new page on my blog which includes rehearsal schedule and performance information.
Jazz Band will be performing at the 8th grade recruitment night Thursday in the gym. Call time is 6:00 and we'll perform from about 6:30-6:50. Students will be dismissed as soon as we are done cleaning up at about 7:00. Recruitment night is casual performance in jeans and band polo. For CMEA on Saturday February 2, we will meet at Santa Teresa HS at 8:10 am. We'll warm up, then perform at 8:50, then sight reading, then group photo and dismissal around 9:50 am. The Joint Venture gig downtown is Friday, February 8. We'll meet at school early at about 6:30 am and return to school for classes after lunch. We will need parent drivers that morning! Both the CMEA festival and the downtown gig are formal performing attire.
Spring Trip is coming up fast! There is still time to get your contract & deposit in this week. We need a few more chaperones! If you can help, please send in a contract and deposit, or if you have questions, send me an email. All the info is here.

October 8-12
Welcome Back! I hope you have had a good time during your week off.
Booster Parents- be aware that we'll be having a Big Band & Orchestra Benefit planning meeting soon. Once the date and time is set, I'll let you know.
Jazz Band will be performing at the Allen-at-Steinbeck walk a thon on Saturday, October 20 from 10:30-11:00 am. The campus is the same as Castillero, and we will be performing on the outdoor stage just outside the band room. Half of the band will meet at Pioneer before hand to load our equipment, while half of the band will return and unload. Call time at Pioneer to load will be 9:30, our performance will end at 11:00 and those doing the unloading should be done at PHS before 12:00.
Also, Jazz Band will be participating in the West Valley Jazz Festival on Friday, November 2. I hope to visit Castillero in the morning and then go to the festival after that, but will not know the details until I get them from WVC.
Fall Concert- is Wednesday, October 24 at 7:00 in the PAC. Wind Ensemble, Jazz Band & String Orchestra will be joined by Castillero's Chamber Strings and Jazz Band. This will be a wonderful joint performance and a great opportunity to welcome the Castillero students and families to Pioneer. Please encourage your friends and family to arrive early as the concert will begin promptly at 7:00.
There are many performances to go see this month! Look at the Live Music page and see if you can get to one of the many opportunities. Remember that your Live Review is due within one week of the concert you attend.
I have posted a Tour 2013 update for Jazz Band. Please review the details. I will be posting information for Wind Ensemble and Orchestra as soon as I am able to confirm more details. I hope to have these quite soon.
Finally, we will begin our next fundraiser soon with the We Care Coffee Company. Look for a separate blog post later this week with more info. In the meantime, you can check them out online.

Also, Jazz Band will be participating in the West Valley Jazz Festival on Friday, November 2. I hope to visit Castillero in the morning and then go to the festival after that, but will not know the details until I get them from WVC.
Fall Concert- is Wednesday, October 24 at 7:00 in the PAC. Wind Ensemble, Jazz Band & String Orchestra will be joined by Castillero's Chamber Strings and Jazz Band. This will be a wonderful joint performance and a great opportunity to welcome the Castillero students and families to Pioneer. Please encourage your friends and family to arrive early as the concert will begin promptly at 7:00.
There are many performances to go see this month! Look at the Live Music page and see if you can get to one of the many opportunities. Remember that your Live Review is due within one week of the concert you attend.
I have posted a Tour 2013 update for Jazz Band. Please review the details. I will be posting information for Wind Ensemble and Orchestra as soon as I am able to confirm more details. I hope to have these quite soon.
Finally, we will begin our next fundraiser soon with the We Care Coffee Company. Look for a separate blog post later this week with more info. In the meantime, you can check them out online.

September 24-28
We are now into the second grading period. I am a bit behind in posting grades for some students, but all will be accurate before Tuesday at 4:00pm. If you have grade questions, please hold off until that time so the grade will be accurate.
As you may have heard by now, we will not be taking a big music tour this spring because of low numbers. I am working to plan a short, inexpensive trip so that all students will be able to participate. This may be simply a day trip, or just one or two nights away. I will hold onto deposits until such time as I can announce what the revised plan will be. Thank you for your patience as I make these plans. I will continue to update the Tour 2013 page as details are worked out.
Our first concert is coming up on Wednesday, October 24th at 7:00 in the PAC. The Castillero Jazz Band and Chamber Orchestra will join the Pioneer Jazz Band, Wind Ensemble and String Orchestra. This will be a great concert and I look forward to seeing many of you there.
Please remember that if you have not yet paid for your Entertainment Books, Pep Band attire or Dress, that money is past due. Please make payment as soon as possible. Checks can be made out to "Pioneer Performing Arts." If you have a question about money you owe or have paid, email and I'll give you details for your student.
Jazz Band students have been invited to perform at the Allen at Steinbeck walk-a-thon on Saturday, October 20. I don't have our performance time yet, but have asked that we be scheduled for the morning. Once I confirm these details, I'll let you know. This will be a great way for us to reach out to our community and support one of our SJUSD schools.
Finally, as September rolls to a close and October comes in, there will be many Live Review opportunities for you. Please take a moment and review the Live Music page so that you can understand this assignment. I have added details about some October concerts you may choose to attend.

September 4-7
Football Week! All of the information is here for food, call time and more. Additionally, in the likely event that our pep band polos do not come in before this game, I have asked students to wear some blue Pioneer shirt (their pride package shirt is a good choice) instead.
Back to School night is this Thursday! I will offer extra credit to all Wind Ensemble and Jazz Band members who can play a few pep band tunes in the quad from 5:30 to 5:45 (5:15 call, blue jeans & Pioneer blue shirts). I know it's short notice, but it would work the same way is it did last year. Plus, you get to start the year with extra credit :) I hope to see all parents there as we go over our start of year information and, most importantly, Tour 2013 information.
The Entertainment Book fundraiser is going on now! Click here for all the info.
Fittings will be this Wednesday during class! Boys who need a tux and girls who need a dress will be measured in class on Wednesday. For girls, the dress will be $65-$75 depending on sizing and shipping costs and is payable when the dresses arrive. For boys, the tux cost went up a bit this year. Prices are as follows for parts of the tux- poly coat $72, poly pants $27, shirt $18, vest $20, bowtie $8 and the studs and cuff links are included on a complete package. That makes a package this year $145. Shoes will be $45. While the prices are up, all tuxes will be furnished new rather than rental return. If a student needs a discount on shoes please contact me so that we can arrange to have you buy rental return (used) shoes.
Checks for dresses and tuxes should be made payable to Pioneer Performing Arts. Students who are participating in fundraising may use that to help with these costs. Students who plan to use fundraising to cover tour costs should pay for these directly.
Playing tests and seating changes will begin this week in all ensembles but Beginning Band. Students should be prepared to play scales and any of the music that I give them in class.
Beginning Band students will select instruments on Tuesday. There will be a small quiz to cover some of the information we have gone over these few weeks and that will play in to the instrument assignments. Ultimately, instrumentation is at my sole discretion. With 35 students in class, it will be something like 6 flutes, 6 clarinets, 5 saxophones, 6 trumpets, 6 trombones and 5 percussion. There is also the option for oboe or bassoon (must be rented through a local shop), baritone, tuba and French horn as well. We do not have enough saxophones to give, even to 5 students. Sax players will likely be asked to rent or purchase an instrument on their own. We do have instruments to check out for students playing any of the rest. There is a $50 Instrument Donation that we ask for all students who use school instruments.

August 20-24
I am so glad for the great work we have already achieved in the first three days of class! I will begin counting rehearsal points tomorrow, so all students should be prepared to play with reeds, valve oil, rosin or any other supplies needed. Don't forget that the signature page for the course handbook is due this Friday. Also, please take time to indicate sizes of polo shirts, jackets and need for a tuxedo or dress on the back page.
Listening Logs are due tomorrow. If you have a question, or were unable to complete this assignment, I will be assisting students Monday during S period. All journals must be turned in by the end of the day Monday.
All students who need to use a school instrument (except Beginning Band) this year should have already gotten a blue contract. No student is allowed to take an instrument home without turning in this blue contract. Families who are able to make the Instrument Donation are asked to make checks to "Pioneer Performing Arts."
Students are reminded to consider opportunities for student leadership this week. I will meet with all candidates prior to elections. In addition to the officers, as we begin to play, I will be working to determine section leaders for the year.
Due to a last minute personnel change, there is one sax opening in Jazz Band. I will take time to hear every sax player in Wind Ensemble and Concert Band audition Monday as there may be some shuffling taking place this week. Schedule changes will only be available with administrative approval because the school year has already started.
We will also begin our first fundraiser of the year- Entertainment Book sales. Similar to last year, I ask every family to sell just two books. If we do just that, we will raise about $4,000- most of which goes directly into student credit for performing attire, travel and more. Books will retail for $30 with a profit of $10 each. Checks can be made to "Pioneer Performing Arts."
Many students have begun to turn in tour contracts. Please remember that there is a $250 deposit which must be submitted with the contract. More information, and a tour contract are available on the Tour 2013 page of my blog. This contract is due Friday, September 14 and checks should be made payable to "Pioneer Performing Arts."

Welcome Back!
Welcome to the 2012-13 School Year!
A new year brings new energy, optimism and hope for great things. I look forward to working with Pioneer's student musicians as we continue to build a legacy of great musical achievement. I have ordered over 40 new pieces for Pep Band, Concert Band, Wind Ensemble, Jazz Band and Orchestra and can't wait to get into them!
The first day of school will be full of information for students and parents. I will review the Instrumental Music Handbook in all my classes. This gives students and parents information regarding course expectations for grades, discipline and much more. Please take the time to review it as the last page is due back, signed by student and parent, Friday, August 24. On that page is also an order form for polo shirts and jackets. I have a complete sizing line for students to try on here in my room.
In addition to this, I will be going over the Spring 2013 Tour plans. Please take time to read the information posted on the Tour 2013 page on my blog! There is a Tour Contract there which must be filled out by every participant- one for each student and chaperone. This form is not due until Friday, September 14 to allow families to plan carefully for this event, and to participate in at least one fundraiser.
Finally, I will collect information from students who may need school instruments so that I can begin to check those out as soon as possible. No student can use a school instrument until I get a signed instrument contract back.
Thursday will be a day for checking out school instruments and going over basic procedures regarding instrument storage and such. It is unlikely that we will be able to perform in any classes yet, though all students should bring their instruments.
On Friday, students will need a composition book as we will do our first Listening Log. Since this is the first of the year, it will take the whole period for most of the classes. I will also complete instrument checkout for all classes except Beginning Band. Students will get a grade for having this in class- and it can't be made up later!
Next week- I hope to have all ensembles except Beginning Band playing in class on Monday! All students who need a tuxedo or dress will be fitted for those later in the week. We will also have an opportunity for students interested in student leadership positions to run for those. Also coming up is our first football game- Friday, September 7. For a complete schedule of this year's performances, be sure to review the 2012-13 Calendar which is linked at the top of the page.
A successful program is not only the work of students and a director, but also parent involvement. If you are interested in working with our Boosters either in a leadership or support role, please contact me. We need help in all sorts of areas, and you can volunteer for those things which interest you (or you could even expand your comfort zone, too). We'll have meetings throughout the year and I will keep you informed as those come up.
A final note- I try to be as organized as possible and work to communicate as much information as I'm able. I update this blog every week before school starts on Sunday night so that parents can have the information needed to ensure student success. Please make it a point to check in often so that you can have the latest information for all student.

Are you looking for the personnel list? Check the post below
Congratulations to the Orchestra for a very strong performance on Friday night at the CMEA festival!
All band and orchestra families for next year are invited to an informational meeting about the spring 2013 tour on Wednesday night at 7:00 in the PAC. Please join us as I share my vision for our possible spring music trip.
Finale Concerts are coming up next week! Beginning Band, Concert Band and Wind Ensemble will perform Wednesday night while Orchestra and Jazz Band will perform Thursday night. Both concerts are at 7:00 in the PAC. Both nights will feature some great music making so please invite your friends & family, arrive on time and plan to stay for the duration of the concert. I will also have the opportunity to recognize outstanding members of the ensembles for their contributions throughout the year. I hope to see you there!
Graduation is Thursday, May 31. All current members of Wind Ensemble are required to perform, and those moving into Wind Ensemble next year are invited to join us. We will depart PHS for the Rose Garden at about 3:30 and return following the ceremony. Students may leave after the ceremony with family members with written permission in advance. The bus should return to PHS at about 7:45. Students are dismissed once they check their school instrument in with me or take a personal instrument home.
School instruments will be available for summer check-out to those students continuing in music at PHS in the fall. Students must return a signed Summer Instrument contract after the Finale Concerts before they are permitted to take any instrument home. Once the student has performed next week, all instruments are to stay at the school.
There are many live performances this week and next. If you have yet to do your Live Review, get out to one of these concerts and get the assignment turned in. All the info is on the Live Music page!
Finally, there are currently 34 students who owe the program money totaling about $2,414. Families need to get any balance paid as students can not end the year with a negative balance! Students who end the year with a positive balance, though, are able to keep that credit and start the year off with a credit!

Want to find out about plans for Spring Tour 2013? All students in Jazz Band, Wind Ensemble, Concert Band and Orchestra for next year and their parents are invited to an informational meeting next Wednesday, May 9 at 7:00 in the PAC at Pioneer.

Please join us!
Also, most of our dates for the 2012-13 school year are already booked! Please check out the 2012-13 Calendar link and pencil in the information.
Band students- I need more tuba, (bass) clarinet and french horn players. Students who are interested in trying a new instrument and let me know soon. I have school instruments that I can check out and can get you started before summer so that you can work on it, take lessons, and be ready to start the year strong. You might also audition for me again at registration time in August for a new placement. I have also left two spots for trombone open in Jazz Band. If you are a trombone player who would like to audition again, please take lessons over the summer and audition again in August at registration for possible reassignment.
Orchestra students- We no not yet know if there will be one or two orchestra classes. As of right now, I have made just one class list. If we are able to offer two orchestra classes next fall, I will publish that information and let Mr. Krijnen know as soon as I do. If we split, we will add an advanced section.
You're Invited to our Finale Concerts- Wednesday, May 16th and Thursday the 17th, both at 7:00 in the PAC. Wednesday night features Beginning Band, Concert Band and Wind Ensemble. Thursday night features Orchestra and Jazz Band. Both nights are free and open to the public.
