Don’t forget that all band students are asked to bring their uniforms (BLACK pants, white shirts, and vests) and instruments for yearbook photos tomorrow!

I hope everyone has had a great weekend. We will follow the regular early morning band schedule this week. Jazz band rehearsal time will be announced this week. We may have to change our rehearsal time due to parent-teacher interviews.

Yearbook pictures for all four bands (Grade 7, 8, 9 and Jazz) will be taken on Wednesday morning (March 5th). All band students are asked to bring their uniforms including BLACK PANTS on Wednesday so that the photos look professional. Thank you!

Permission forms for the grade 9 band trip were provided to grade 9 band students on Thursday at early morning band practice. If said permission form is most likely crumpled at the bottom of your child’s kit bag or locker, you can find printable PDF versions below! In order to finalize reservations for accommodations and activities we need to have signed permission forms returned by this Friday (March 7th). Payments are not due until Friday, April 11th. Thank you for your help with this!
