Jordan Band Newsletter
Leading a Community of Excellence
Introducing the Jordan Band Newsletter!
This the first edition of the Jordan Band Newsletter. The purpose of the newsletter will be to communicate with parents and students about the status of the Jordan Middle School Band Program and to communicate about upcoming events.
Recent Events
8th Grade Night at Central Gwinnett High School
The Eighth Grade Band recently participated at Youth Night at Central Gwinnett High School. The students got the opportunity to perform with the Black Knight Marching Band during the pre-game tunnel and in the stands.
Beginning Band Start Up Clinic
All beginning band students participated in the outstanding Saturday clinic. Students were taught the fundamentals of their instruments and playing by experts in their instruments.
Rehearsals have started for our upcoming concerts
All three bands are preparing for their upcoming performances!! The students are working hard so make sure to check the Band Calendar so that you're not left out!
Band Shirts
ALL band students are required to purchase a Jordan Middle School Polo shirt. This shirt is worn as part of our concert uniform. If a student does not wear the proper attire for a performance the student may not be allowed to perform. The cost of the shirt is $20.00 the money can either paid online through MyPaymentsPlus or directly to Ms. Thompson with cash or check. Please make sure that your student has ordered their shirt; every student is an important part of the band and we don't want any students left out!
Basketball Pep Band Starting
We will be starting a Basketball Pep Band at Jordan Middle School. All 7th and 8th grade band members are eligible to join. Rehearsals will be on Wednesdays after school. A letter/permission slip will be sent home with the students that will outline the specific dates and times for pep band. Please note that this form must be signed and returned by the deadline in order for the student to participate in pep band.
