ALL BAND FAMILIES - Travel & Media Form due Sept. 9th!
We had SUCH a great first week back at both Buchanan Middle and High School. No matter which band your student is enrolled in, they should have come home with TWO important forms for you to sign. One was our Media/Travel form, which allows your student to travel with the band and lets me know if I can use their image in band videos and images on our social media platforms. *IMPORTANT* I CANNOT PUT YOUR STUDENT ON THE BUS FOR A TRIP WITHOUT THIS FORM SIGNED. PLEASE MAKE SURE THIS FORM IS SUBMITTED BY FRIDAY, SEPT. 9th
ALL BAND FAMILIES - Stay in the Loop! Fill out this Contact Form!
ALL BAND FAMILIES - Join REMIND for your student's CLASS and/or CLUB!

6th, 7th, and 8th Grade Families - Information about INSTRUMENT RENTAL and BAND SUPPLIES!
If your student is starting 7th or 8th grade band, and hasn't ordered a BLUE BOOK yet, now is the perfect time! 8th Grade Band students will begin the year with the blue book RIGHT AWAY, and 7th Grade should begin using them later in the year. The blue book is a continuation of what we worked on in the Red Book, and can be purchased from Quinlan & Fabish.
