Summer Ending

As the summer comes to an end, I am sure that some of the students are getting anxious to begin the school year. For the students going into seventh and eighth grade, summer band practices begin on Wednesday July 26th. This is an important time for them as they get to meet the other students in their bands and also learn how to march.

There is no summer band for sixth grade. Students do not even need instruments until after the school year begins. We recommend waiting to purchase instruments until after school has begun so that students are certain they will be in band and be playing the instrument that they have chosen. The first few weeks of the school year will be spent getting to know one another and learning some music-reading basics and other vital fundamentals. We look forward to beginning an exciting school year.
