I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Thank you to everyone who has paid band fees which are due today. We have received 91 out of 151 payments to date. These funds pay for instrument repairs and maintenance, band supplies, uniforms, field trips, and treats for students throughout the year. If you need an extension to the payment date, please send me a note or leave me a message in the office. Thank you!

We will follow the regular early morning band schedule this week:

Tuesday, October 7th: Grade 7 early am band (7:45-8:45)

Wednesday, October 8th: Grade 8 early am band (7:45-8:45)

Thursday, October 9th: Grade 9 early am band (7:45-8:45)

*A jazz band meeting will be held this week to determine the rehearsal time for this year.

Happy Friday!
