Early morning band is canceled for tomorrow (Thursday). Please encourage students to do some extra practicing at home to learn their individual Christmas concert parts over the next few days. Thank you!

Unfortunately, I have lost my voice. You can ask the students about what a quiet day they had in the band room today! Grade 8 early morning band is canceled and will be rescheduled to an early morning band rehearsal on Monday. Jazz band after school tomorrow is also canceled and will be rescheduled; date to be decided.

Grade 8 students and Jazz Band students have received their Christmas concert music and are asked to please practice their individual parts before the next full band rehearsals. Thank you!

Grade 9 band students were given an information and permission form regarding the grade 9 PEI Provincial Honours Band last week following early morning band. Please remind students to turn in their forms tomorrow in order to be considered for the program.

The Christmas concert is scheduled for Wednesday, December 7th, and we are working on a whole new set of Christmas tunes!

I will be in Summerside for a curriculum meeting tomorrow, so just a reminder that early morning band for grade 8 is canceled. There will be an early morning grade 9 band rehearsal on Thursday as usual.

A short Jazz Band rehearsal will be held at 12:30 pm on Thursday to distribute and play through our new Christmas tune. Having the rehearsal on Friday morning did not work for grade 9’s due to breakfast program commitments.

Students interested in participating in the grade 9 provincial honour band will receive information about the program on Thursday at early morning band.

Thank you for all of the sales so far. We are now up to 334 jars sold online and a few paper order forms have also been submitted.

Here is the online sales breakdown by grade level:

Grade 7 (55 students): 18 participants

Grade 8 (63 students): 16 participants

Grade 9 (43 students): 13 participants

We are going to keep the online store open for two more days.

It would be great to see a few more students in each class make a contribution to extra-curricular fundraising before we close the store! Thank you 🙂

All band students who have Recipes in Jars paper orders should bring them to Mrs. Peters in the band area on Monday morning. Tuesday will be our count day.

This week’s early morning band rehearsal schedule is as follows:
