- Bring a government issued ID for our Raptor Security System (i.e. visitor badge).
- Please refrain from posting field trip photos on social media sites of other children you may be chaperoning. Instead, if you capture some great pictures, please share them with the classroom teacher so we can ensure we have the proper photo consent of all children photographed.
- While on the bus and at the field trip destination, please provide active supervision for the children in your care. If any major behavior concerns, please communicate with the classroom teacher.
- Be prompt (maybe even early) for all check-in and departure times.

Band Info for 5th Grade
5th Grade Students & Families:
I am in the process of meeting with Mr. Thompson’s 5th Grade Music classes during the month of April to introduce myself and answer questions about the band program.
The senior high band will also be putting on a fun concert for the elementary students on May 5th at 9:00AM. Students will have the opportunity to hear and learn about the band program from the senior high students.
Students will be taking a tour of the Middle/High School building in May, and at that time, they will be given the option to sign up for band or choir, or both. If students register for band, they will also select what instrument they plan to play on the form.
Your choices are Flute, Clarinet, Alto Sax, Trumpet, French Horn, Trombone, Baritone, Tuba, Percussion (if you have two years of private piano lessons).
Options for obtaining an instrument:
1. Music Mart Lease To Own Program - visit website www.themusicmart.biz to learn more about this program. Orders for instruments and supplies will be done online this year.
• We will have our virtual instrument display with Jeremy from The Music Mart via Google Meet on Thursday, May 11th at 6:00PM. I will send the link via email to parents. Jeremy will explain the lease to own program and help you order supplies at this meeting.
2. You already have an instrument from a family member, relative or friend that you want to use. Great! I just ask that we send those instruments in to The Music Mart or other reputable instrument repair store to get evaluated. Often times if the instrument has sat un-played for a period of time, it needs some work to get it into good playing condition.
3. Buy an instrument outright. This is an option that some choose. If you are considering this, please email me with the information on the instrument you are considering. We want to make sure it’s going to be an instrument that is from a reputable manufacturer. Sometimes instruments purchased online look like a great deal, but they aren’t ones of good quality.
4. Use a school instrument. I have some school instruments available to rent for a yearly fee, but availability is limited, and you may not be able to get your first choice.
We will be using Essential Elements Book 1 for the lesson book and for full group band. That book, and a music stand for at home practice will also need to be purchased along with reeds for woodwind players.
Summer Lessons
I anticipate summer lessons being scheduled for 4 Weeks –
Week of July 10, Week of July 17, Week of July 31st, Week of August 7th. This is a tentative schedule at this point.
These lessons will take place in person in the high school band room. Each student will have a weekly 30 minute lesson. Parents are invited too. Once I have the band roster established, I will create and send the schedule out to everyone.
If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to email me at jim.callahan@sibleyeast.org or call at 507-964-8265.
Sincerely,
Jim Callahan MS/HS Band Instructor
