Hey 5th Graders, Come Join the Ben Franklin Middle School Band!
Greetings 5th Grade Families! We are excited to help you start your band experience next year in 6th grade!
5th grade families are invited to Ben Franklin on Tuesday, Feb. 7 and Thursday, Feb. 9 from 4:30- 7:30 pm to try out the band instruments, meet the band directors and visit with local music store representatives.
Use the Main (East) entrance at Ben Franklin MS. Upon entering, go upstairs . You will see representatives from our local music stores there. Band Directors will be in the lobby outside of GYM II. If you are unable to attend either of these nights, BF band directors will be returning to the elementary music classrooms so all students may have an opportunity to try. We offer assigned days for each school, but It is okay to come to the other time if your scheduled school time does not work for your family.
Tuesday, Feb. 7 from 4:30 – 7:30 pm - Washington, Roosevelt & Clara Barton
Thursday, Feb. 9 from 4:30 – 7:30 pm - Longfellow, Madison & McKinley
Thank you so much for your help and let me know if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you on Feb. 1nd or 2nd for our BF Music Tour to your school!
