The summer band camp will run from June 5th - June 16th Monday through Friday at Regis Middle School. This is an opportunity for all currently enrolled 5-8th grade band students. There are options for concert band, jazz band, private lessons, and a field trip to Air FX.

Payments will be collected through the LaSalle business office. When registration is complete we can send a charge directly to your school FACTS account. If you would rather write a check - that is an acceptable option as well.
I hope you will consider signing your student up for this opportunity as I continue to explain and get them excited for it during class.
All the best,
