This year’s campaign is 100% paperless. All orders must be placed through our secure online platform. When checking out, please remember to credit the student you wish to support at the prompt.

Why Support Us? Proceeds will fund spring field trips, band festival registration fees, and other important extra-curricular costs for our program.

Thank you for supporting East Wiltshire Music Students!

PEI Intermediate Honour Band

Congratulations to the outstanding band students who represented East Wiltshire at the 2026 PEI Intermediate Honour Band. The three-day event took place at UPEI from February 6th to 8th. Featured in the photo with director Dr. Caslor are: Arya Clory, Madison Myers, Florian Clement, Sophie Fullarton, Olivia Kouyoumdjian, and Danica Dennis. Thank you for making our school proud!

🎵 Band Update: New Music & Assignment Checklists

Thank you to everyone for providing transporation to early morning band during the cold, dark, snowy month of January! The students are working hard and I wanted to give you a quick update on upcoming assignments.

All three grade levels are currently working on new music theory chapters and playing assignments. All three concert bands are also working on exciting new music which we are looking forward to performing in the spring.

To help students stay organized, I have provided paper copies of assignment and practice checklists to every class. Digital copies of the checklists are posted on Google Classroom for your reference (you can use your student’s login if you don’t have direct access), and assignments are also posted in PowerSchool.

A Note on Marks: If you notice that your student’s marks are lower than expected, it is almost always due to missing assignments. Please take a moment to check in with your band student to ensure that they are practicing regularly and submitting their work. I want to make sure their Term 2 marks truly reflect their musical ability!

Thank you for your support.
