Good morning! Welcome back to our grade 9 travellers. Please find below a few reminders as we move toward the end of the 2023-24 school year:

1. Grade 9 students were asked to pass in their band vests (labelled with their name) at the final concert. A list of students who still need to take care of this is posted on the grade 9 Google Classroom. It costs $45 to replace an embroidered EWS vest, so please return *Grade 7 and 8 students do not need to turn in their uniforms.

2. Saxophone and Percussion audition times for grade 7 students have been posted in Google Classroom. Auditions will be held from Tuesday-Thursday and I was able to give all students their preferred time (early morning, lunch time, or after school). Students should check the audition pages here on the band website in order to be prepared for their audition. Good luck to all!

3. Band camp forms are available in the band room and the online form is available here on the band website. We usually have a large group of EWS students at the camp and I hope that this year will be no different. *Financial assistance is available for those who may need it. Please contact Mrs. Peters for details.

4. Students who borrowed large instruments for home practice this year are asked to please return these to Mrs. Peters in the band area this week. We will be starting our June inventory next week.

5. All grade 9 band instruments will be kept at school to be used for band classes beginning next week.

Thank you!
