Drew O'Neill will spend the next 16 weeks working with all things band at Batavia High as a student teacher. He is a senior at North Central College working to get his music education degree. At North Central, he plays trumpet in the Concert Winds under the direction of Dr. Van Oyen, but also plays viola when the occasion demands. In June, he will be going on tour to Europe with North Central's Symphony Band under the direction of Dr. Kelley. He enjoys playing chess in his spare time, and is excited to be working with Mr. Van Kley and Mr. Owen as his mentors. He has done clinical hours at Walker Elementary, Grainger Middle School and Naperville North High School, but is most excited to continue on his musical journey at Batavia High. ​

About each week in band class, one assignment will be due. Sometimes you may have to do these assignments at home, but often, class time is provided for these assignments. 

For your convenience, we've created an Assessment Calendar to let you know when assignments are due. This calendar is located below. These will also be posted in Google Classroom each week.
