I apologize for the last minute change, but something has come up and I have to cancel Jazz Band this afternoon.

This announcement was made first thing this morning: “Jazz Band is cancelled for this afternoon and will be held after school on Monday & Thursday next week.”

I will be ordering long sleeved white shirts for the grade 7 students tomorrow to go with the band vests that they received last week or today.

Students have been asked to check with parents (or in their t-shirt drawer) to verify their t-shirt size. I also have samples to show them at early am band tomorrow before they fill out their order form. The available sizes are ADULT (Small, Medium and Large) and YOUTH (Small, Medium and Large).

Thank you!

There was some confusion today about the end date for our fundraiser. I’ve requested an extra week for the campaign so that everyone can get their orders in! Orders can now be placed until midnight on November 21st. Orders will be delivered to the school for pick-up during the following week (details to follow).

Thanks for your support!

We are getting closer to our goal, but we are still well below our total profits last year ($4,280.50). If you can, please consider doing some early Christmas shopping and support the band this week!

A heartfelt thank you to the Grade 9 Band students for their participation in a very wet Remembrance Day service this morning at the Kingston Legion. You were fantastic, and your presence and your musical contribution to the ceremony was greatly appreciated by everyone present.

Thank you to everyone who helped to move the equipment from the school to the Legion and back again.

PS Please open your instrument cases to ensure that any remaining moisture has a chance to dry!

The decision has been made to hold the Remembrance Day Service outside at the Kingston Legion Cenotaph.

Band students are asked to please meet at the Legion at 10:00 am. Please dress warmly (hat, mitts, coat), and be prepared for the possibility of rain. If you have plastic three hole insert sheets to put your music in, that might be a good idea! I will bring as many of those sheets as I can find.

We will be loading equipment at East Wiltshire at 9:15 am. If your instrument was left at the school last week you can pick it up then.

Thank you for your commitment to participating in this important community event.
