Band Registration
Registration and rental will be on Wednesday, September 9th in the Schiesher Large Gym from 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. Please come at your convenience any time between these hours. Please be prepared to fill out a rental agreement and pay rental fees at the registration. This open house type of registration will allow us to talk with all interested parents and students regarding final instrument selection.
Band Lessons
Each student will be placed in a small group with 2-3 other students who play their same instrument. Each group will meet once per week for 30 minutes beginning the week of September 14th.
.
Each group’s lesson will always be the same day of the week but lesson times will rotate from week to week so students will not have to miss the same portion of class in consecutive weeks. For example, if Flute Group #1 meets at 10:00 one Tuesday, they will meet at 10:30 the following Tuesday and so on. Students will receive monthly schedules with their lesson times.
