Week At A Glance!
Lists for '24-'25 Bands
These lists have been posted on the students' Schoology feed. Check the lists and let us know if you do not see your student's name. EVERY student has a spot! If they were inadvertently left out, its possible they wanted to do two year long classes and forgot to tell us - but we can fix that!
Please let us know if you have a name to add.
Spring Concert!
Arrivals:
Begninner Band arrival time will probably be 5:30pm. Keep an eye out for a handout and official times/details! Uniform is the same as the holiday concert (White shirt, black dress pants and shoes!)
Other bands arrival time is TBD. Sometime around 6pm.

Students will perform this coming week in class if they did not attend the Solo and Ensemble Festival.
Congratulations to our Beginner Band students who received a superior rating at Solo and Ensemble! Our students did a wonderful job and represented us well! Medals will be awarded for "superior" ratings and those are in the mail!
Please remember that if you attended the festival, there is a $5/event cost associated. Please pay that ASAP!
Students should be playing along with the accompaniment/recordings at the top of their Schoology feed (click the link that says "audio tracks" on the slide).

Students received a document pack on Monday 4/8
Doc Pack contains all permission slips, packing lists, medication information/forms, etc!
🔻 Meds UPDATE 💊
Any of the 4 Pre-Approved Over The Counter meds
(Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen, Benadryl and Dramamine)
MUST BE provided by parent now (this is a change)
It is now required by our central office that parents turn in a SEALED bottle of medication for these pre-approved over the counter meds.
We ask that parents turn in a TRAVEL SIZED bottle (or better yet, some small blister packs) of this medication instead of a full bottle. We won't be able to accept large bottles.
Check out the rehearsal schedule and medication turn in dates!
