I’m really happy with the number of EWS intermediate and senior band students who will be attending summer band camp this year!

I’m finalizing all intermediate and senior band camp registrations today, and it would be very helpful if you could check the list below to ensure I haven’t omitted anyone, or made any mistakes while transferring information from the paper and online forms to this master list. Please double-check that your student is signed up for the correct instrument (especially if they’ve switched to saxophone or percussion) and the appropriate grade level.

If you notice an error on the list, please send me an email today so I can correct it before submitting it to our camp director tomorrow. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much to all band students and their families for another fantastic year!

Congratulations to all the grade 9’s; I wish them every success in high school and in the future.

Grade 7 and 8 students were asked to take their instruments home this week, especially those who have registered for the Central Area Band Camp in August. If an instrument still needs to be picked up, the school will be open until Tuesday morning. Parents are encouraged to call the main office ahead of time so we can have the instrument ready for pickup.

Have a wonderful summer! Alison

Just a reminder that all extra-curricular band rehearsals have now concluded for the 2025–26 school year. Thank you to our students and families for your dedication and commitment from September through June. Your support has helped make this another successful year for our band program!

Students will continue to participate in band classes during the regular school day for the remainder of the school year.

Grade 9 Band students have been returning their instruments, band books, and band vests this week. If you happen to find any of these items at home, please send them back to me at East Wiltshire by Wednesday. Grade 7 and 8 students should keep their t-shirts/uniforms for next year.

Thank you for your cooperation!

I hope that you are enjoying the beautiful weather this week.

Attending Band Camp is the perfect way for intermediate and senior students to continue their musical journey and grow as a performers in a fun, supportive environment. Students who attend will have the opportunity to strengthen their musical fundamentals through focused instruction that cannot be achieved in a large group classroom setting.

Please click on one of the links below to register for Band Camp today!

Printable Form: Print at home and deliver to the main office or to Mrs. Peters at East Wiltshire. Application forms are also available in the band area.

OR

Online Registration Form: Complete registration by filling out a Google Form.

Please note:

There is a separate registration form for the half day beginner band camp. Emails were sent to all grade 6 applicants this afternoon.

Intermediates who are selected for saxophone, bass clarinet, or percussion will be notified following auditions, and I will change their registrations.  For now, please select the instrument you are currently playing in the Grade 7 Band.  Thank you!
