This is a new event we are adding to help make an inspiring transition for our incoming 5th graders. Each grade will play a song and then there will be combined songs at the end. Our goal is to show the progression of 5th grade to High School and generate excitement across all grade levels. This information sheet will be going home soon. This is a big event with many logistics, please let us know if you have any conflicts and cannot attend.
Schmitt Music Instrument Sale
It's once again time for Schmitt Music's annual Clearance Tour! April 24th from 3-7pm Schmitt Music will have a huge selection of intermediate and professional-level band and orchestra instruments at clearance prices. This is the best opportunity of the year to instantly improve your students' sound and get them excited with an instrument upgrade.

If you would like one of us band directors to meet you there to help look at instruments, please let us know and we can set up a time.
Summer Music Camp Opportunities
Summer playing opportunities are a great way to grow as a musician - whether catching up or getting ahead. Here is a link to all of the local and surrounding camps and lesson opportunities. These opportunities range from All-State prep camps to individual lessons, local day camps, and overnight camps at the universities. If you need more information, we have fliers to send home. Private lessons are highly encouraged to keep students practicing throughout the summer.

We are always in need of classroom supplies. If you feel so inclined, here is a link to the PHMS Amazon Wish List.
