Sorry for the delay! All of our activities and performance times have now been confirmed and the final, detailed itinerary and permission forms for the band trip will be provided to students tomorrow.

I hope everyone had a nice Easter holiday.

We will follow the regular early morning and after school band schedule this week as we prepare for a concert for incoming grade 6 students on Thursday morning.

Attendance at rehearsals this week is very important! Thank you for your support 😊

Thanks to the grade 9 students who helped organize the chocolate for pick-up yesterday, and thanks to the parents who came by after school to pick up the bigger orders!

Remaining orders must be picked up and taken home by students (or parents) by 4:00 p.m. tomorrow. Please contact me at ampeters@edu.pe.ca if you need to make another arrangement.

Thank you!

Anne’s Chocolate orders are being sorted, and will be ready for pick-up in the cafeteria from 3:30-5:00 pm this afternoon!

Grade 9 band students are reminded to please complete the roommate form in Google Classroom by tomorrow (Tuesday) at 3:00 pm.

Band Chocolate Fundraiser Pick Up – Anne’s Chocolates orders will be available for parents to pick up on Tuesday, March 31st from 3:30- 5:00 pm.  

Smaller orders can be picked up by students at the end of the day on Wednesday. This helps to avoid confusion when parents arrive to find their order missing because their student already picked it up!

If any parents or guardians are available on Tuesday afternoon from 2:30-4:00 to help out, please let me know.

Monday, March 30: Workshops for grade 8 and grade 9 bands in the morning with guest director, Rob MacLeod

PLEASE READ: Grade 9 BAND TRIP INFORMATION SLIDES

I will post a slide show which will include an itinerary, as well as details about trip payments, here on the website tomorrow.

Thank you so much for supporting our annual band fundraiser! We raised $2,210 and this will go toward subsidizing all our spring field trips and events. I will let you know when orders are ready to be picked up at the school (guaranteed to be by the end of the month).

Early Morning Band

Tuesday: I will be out of the building all day so early a.m. and after school practices are canceled and rescheduled to Friday. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Wednesday: Grade 8 early am band

Thursday: Grade 9 early morning band

Friday: Grade 7 early am band and Jazz Band after school from 3:00-4:00pm.

Grade 9 Band Trip

We are currently awaiting final approval from the PSB for our upcoming band trip scheduled for Thursday, April 23 through Friday, April 24. The proposed itinerary includes a performance at the Truro Music Festival, as well as a band clinic at Mount Allison University, with an overnight stay in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

To help offset costs, a $65 fundraising credit will be applied for each student. This reduces the individual cost of the trip to $165 per student.

I will share the itinerary and payment details as soon as approval is confirmed. I apologize for the delay and thank you for your patience!
