Band and Orchestra Registration
Did you know that the District 200 instrumental music program is known throughout Illinois for its excellence? 5th graders who do not play an instrument now have the opportunity to sign up! Registration for Band and Orchestra takes place at Hubble and Franklin Middle Schools on Tuesday, September 8, and at Edison and Monroe Middle Schools on Thursday, Sept. 10. Drop in any time between 4:00 and 7:45 p.m. to see the instruments, talk to instructors, and get information about renting instruments. Materials may be ordered at this time that will be delivered to schools in time for the first lessons. 5th grade students who already play are welcome to participate!
If parents cannot attend these sessions, please contact the band or orchestra teacher from your school. Students younger than 5th grade may also participate in large group rehearsals if they take private lessons outside of school. There is an $80 fee for elementary band or orchestra participation; this is adjusted for students who qualify for exempt or reduced fees. Please contact the instructor for more information! The band director at Lowell is Mr. Dan Dupree at Daniel.Dupree@cusd200.org ; the string orchestra director is Mrs. Jeanne Johannesen at Jeanne.Johannesen@cusd200.org.
