Grade 8 Band Trip – Tuesday, June 3rd

On Tuesday morning, the Grade 8 band students will travel to Bluefield to make some music with the Grade 10 band. We will be leaving EWS at 10:00 AM. Students will need to bring their instruments and sheet music to school, but uniforms are not required.

After the rehearsal, we will head to Charlottetown for lunch and bowling, and we will return to EWS by 2:00 PM.

The cost of the bus and bowling will be covered, but students will need to bring a lunch, or money to purchase lunch at McDonald’s.

Hi everyone,

I just want to send a big thank you to all of our students and families for making our year-end band concert such a fantastic night!

To our talented band members – your hard work and growth truly showed on stage. I’m so proud of the music you made together and how far you’ve come this year.

A special shout-out to our MCs and soloists – you added something really special to the performance, and your confidence and preparation did not go unnoticed!

And to our amazing families – thank you for your continued support and for helping make nights like this possible.

Have a great weekend! Alison

We are now accepting application for the 2025-26 EWS Grade 7 Band! The email below was sent to parents and guardians of grade 6 students last week:

Dear Parent and Guardians

The grade 6 students were an excellent audience at the band presentation on Friday, and I hope that we were able to answer most of their questions about the East Wiltshire Band program. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if any further questions arise.

We are now accepting band program applications.  We ask that application forms be completed online, or printed and returned to the main office at East Wiltshire, by Friday, May 23^rd.

There are many benefits associated with being involved in a school music program. Students are given the opportunity to learn new skills, meet new friends, participate in field trips and other extra-curricular events, and develop their ability to work as a team.  Students in the band program also learn to persevere when practice and patience are required to achieve their goals.

Many of our current band students are members of school sports teams, and a large percentage of students are also enrolled in our French Immersion program.  We want our students to be involved in many aspects of school life, and we do our best to facilitate student participation in athletics, extracurricular activities, and academic programs. Being a member of the school band is enjoyable and rewarding, and we would love to see lots of applications to our grade 7 band program this year!

A few facts about our program:

• Grade seven rehearsals will be held once a week (Tuesdays),  from 7:35-8:45 a.m. Students must be able to provide their own transportation to early morning band rehearsals.

• Students who are accepted in the EWS band program will be given the opportunity to attend  band camp in late August. Registration forms for band camp will be made available once the application and acceptance process has been completed. *Englewood students who already have at least a year of playing experience are not required to attend the beginner band camp but may wish to consider registering for the full day camp (during the same week) at the intermediate level.

• The band program is a three-year course of study which includes a required extra-curricular component, and students are asked to carefully consider whether or not they can make this commitment before applying to the program. Due to scheduling constraints, withdrawals from the band program during the school year cannot be accommodated.

• Students will be given the opportunity to submit their first, second and third choice of instruments once their initial applications have been received.
