- All audience members are required to wear masks during the concert and maintain social distancing. This is in accordance with school policy.
School Instrument Return
Many students also checked out stands at the beginning of the year. These should also be returned to school.
Students continuing in band (both at Cardinal Heights and the High School) will have instruments checked out to them prior to the end of the school year.
We encourage students who are renting instruments from music stores to keep instruments over the summer so that you can practice.
Marching band opportunity
All band students are invited to participate in a free fall marching bnad experience. The Sound of Sun Prairie Marching Band will rehearse Aug 126-20 from 5-9 PM at the high school. Students will then have a performance at the first home football game in the new Bank of Sun Prairie Stadium on Aug 27.
All of this information including the registration August registration form can be found at this link - registration due June 10
THANK YOU & Stay tuned!
As the year comes to a close, thank you again for all the patience, feedback, support, and understanding as we've juggled a year of music education we could never imagine. Mrs. Diallo & Mr. Melrose are excited to finish this year by actually playing as full bands and continue that into next school year.
Stay Tuned:
- We'll be in contact about starting band next fall. We are excited that even more band students will be involved in Cardinal Heights Bands. It's not too late to invite new faces - whether they've played before or not.
- Some summer music camps will be happening this summer. If interested please contact us and we'll give you more information. There are opportunities for both in-person and virtual options.
See you soon!
Mrs. Diallo & Mr. Melrose
