Rehearsals this Week

Good morning!

We will follow the regular early morning band schedule this week. Here are a few important updates:

Jazz Band Rehearsal: Our first after-school rehearsal is tomorrow (Tuesday, October 20) from 3:15 to 4:15 p.m. Because we only rehearse once a week with no in-class time, regular attendance is essential! If your child cannot attend, please send a written note or an email. We have a strong group of new and returning students this year, and they sounded fantastic together on Friday morning.

Grade 7 T-Shirts: Grade 7 students will receive their band T-shirts at early morning band tomorrow! For all concerts this year, students will wear their T-shirts with black pants and dark shoes.

Have a great week!

Band Fees

Posted on by

Thank you to everyone who has paid their band fee this fall. The cost of repairs, instrument maintenance, uniforms, and supplies continues to rise, so these fees help ensure that all students are provided with everything they need to succeed in the band program. Band fees were due on October 5th. Thank you again for your ongoing support!
