Band Notes: Week 27
February 11-15
A Note From Your Directors
It seems like the Flu has come and gone from the Staley Band and we are so glad our band members are feeling better! Advanced Band sectionals resume this week but please check out the schedule below.
We are still needing Hershey kiss donations as well as parent volunteers so make sure to click the links below pertaining to this information.
Last but certainly not least the Beginning Band has an Elementary Tour with a permission slip due back this Tuesday! Please ask your student about it and if they need another copy, then have them as a director. We look forward to a busy (and healthier) week ahead!
As always, if you have any additional questions then please reach out.
-Mr. Wood, Ms. Hoffman, & Mr. Seymour
