Online Learning Plan
It's been great to see everyone again! Learning/Teaching online has been going well! I'm really impressed with all the extra effort and patience the students have exhibited during this challenging phase of school.
In an effort to simplify the online process, I have created a Online Learning Plan Document with all the information needed for Online Band Classes. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you! Mr. Hall ​lhall8@houstonisd.org  On Tuesday, January 28th the West Briar Band and Orchestra students will travel to Jones Hall to see the Houston Symphony perform! This a special program, taylored just for middle school student, features Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4! From the Houston Symphony's Website... "The concert will introduce the excitement and vigor of Tchaikovsky's renowned work, while also introducing a story of fate and hope of making one's own choices and fitting in." Our students are very fortunate to live and attend school in an area with a world-class symphony orchestra!
