Hi everyone!

We are at the midpoint of our campaign and the students have sold 150 items and have raised $1502.50! We are almost halfway to our goal of matching profits from last year’s band fundraiser…thank you so much for your support.

A few students have been offered direct donations to our band program. This is always very much appreciated! Please send cash or cheques in an envelope labeled “Band Program Donation” and include your student’s name and class.

The campaign will wrap up on October 20th and orders will be delivered to the school and sent home with students on November 3rd.

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed some time with family and friends.

Thank you for your support of our band fundraiser! We have already raised $1,101.50 for band travel and special activities. Our goal is $3000, and we still have until Friday, October 20th to get there. All of the information for the campaign is pinned to the top of the band blog. There is also a paper “brochure” available in the band room for students who wish to distribute it to family or friends.

Thank you, and please reach out if you have any questions (ampeters@edu.pe.ca).

Tuesday, October 10: Grade 7 early am band

Wednesday, October 11: Grade 8 early am band is canceled for this week

A problem with the order page on the Anne’s Chocolate page has now been fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience. We are the first group to do this fundraiser and the Anne folks are working very hard to make it go smoothly for us. Please let me know if there are any further issues and I’m sure they will help to resolve them as quickly as possible.

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note to let you know that we will be following the regular early morning band schedule this week; Grade 7’s will rehearse on Tuesday, Grade 8’s on Wednesday, and Grade 9’s on Thursday. Students are reminded that attendance is taken in the band room at 7:45 a.m. so that we can get each rehearsal started on time. Thank you!

Our fall sales campaign is ready to launch and we are excited to be one of the first schools to partner with Anne of Green Gables Chocolates in presenting a new fundraiser to support the East Wiltshire School band program.

Our campaign launches today and ends on Friday, October 20th. This year’s campaign is paperless; 100% of the orders will be made online through an easy to use, secure platform. Be sure to select the student you wish to support before checking out. All student participants will be entered into a draw for an All Occasion Gift Basket at the end of the campaign.

Orders will be delivered to the school on November 3rd and sent home with sellers to distribute to their supporters. Thank you for supporting the East Wiltshire band program!

There has been strong interest in the Mt. A Junior Honor Band day which is fantastic. I just wanted to send a reminder that the deadline is tomorrow, and I will be submitting my recommendations to Mt. A in the afternoon. If there are any students who have been absent this week, but would still like to be considered, please send me an email (ampeters@edu.pe.ca). Please note that students must be able to provide their own transportation to and from Mount Allison University on Saturday, October 14th in order to participate.

Thank you!

I apologize for the inconvenience, but early morning band has been cancelled for tomorrow morning. It was announced at school at 2:30 pm today, but please spread the word to anyone who may have missed hearing it. Thank you!

The following event has been shared by the Department of Music at Mount Allison University in Sackville, NB.

Grade 9 EWS band students (or advanced grade 8 students) who are interested in this enrichment opportunity are asked to see Mrs. Peters to pick up an application form on Monday.

Announcing Mount Allison’s Honour Band 2023!

Honour Band will take place on-campus Saturday October 14, 2023, with sectionals held online one week prior. Honour Band will again be one day only this year, as there is no accommodation available on campus. Cost is $35 per student. This event combines the finest students in the Maritimes with some of Mount Allison’s own music students, and will inspire and motivate your keenest players. Participants will be chosen based on the needs of the ensemble and the recommendation of the school band director or private music instructor.  

The 2023-24 school year is off to a great start in the band area! All three early morning band rehearsals were fantastic with students arriving in the band room on time (or early), and prepared to play with the full concert band! Thank you 

Please review the slideshow below for some general information about the band program. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
