PEI BAND DAYS 2020 SCHEDULE

The grade 8 and 9 bands will be participating in the PEI Band Days Festival at the Delta Convention Center on lower Queen Street in Charlottetown on Wednesday, March 4th, 2020 .  Full participation in this event includes performing, participating in a clinic with an adjudicator, and listening to other bands.

We would really appreciate having a couple of adult chaperones (one for grade 8 in the morning, and one for grade 9 in the afternoon) to help supervise the grade 8 and grade 9 students while they are at the Delta on Wednesday.  If you can help out with this, please send an email (ampeters@edu.pe.ca).
