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!

We have raised $1697.20 so far, and the Anne’s Chocolate campaign has been extended to the end of the day on Wednesday, March 11th.

***Orders will arrive before Easter…CHIPPY BUNNIES would make a great gift for anyone, and purchases will help to support your favourite band students!***
