This Week's Lessons
This is our last normal week of lessons. Students will be scheduled for make-up lessons next week if they have an unexcused absence from this quarter.
Bring Gym Shoes!
Memorial Day Parade
Here are some quick points to know about the Memorial Day Parade on May 29:
- students should plan on meeting out front at CHUMS at 9:15 AM for the Memorial Day Parade.
- Students are responsible for transporting their own instruments home so they will need to bring them home from Prairie View next Thursday as the building will not be unlocked over the weekend.
- Students should plan on wearing their band shirt, tennis shoes, and black pants. (this is a formal parade)
- The Sun Prairie Police Department has requested that students use the Library as a meeting location for pick-up after the parade. They would like all pickup traffic to proceed down Walker Way, continuing past the VFW building to turn left on Sun Field, and then turning right into the parking lot that connects to the library.
- We could use a few volunteers for the parade. If you can help out, please let Mrs. Sederquist or Mr. Quaglieri know.
7th Grade Band Jump Start
In addition to summer concert band and summer jazz band, we also offer a special (and free!) summer class at Prairie View geared toward giving next year's 7th grade band members a "jump start" into the year! (think Band Starts Now! for 7th Grade) We would LOVE for your student to join us on August 22-24 for 3 days of music, friends, and fun! Click below to sign your student up!
Other Information
School Instrument Turn-in
Students will be turning in their school-owned instruments during the week of May 29. This means that all students should plan on bringing their home instruments back to school during this week. We will check out instruments for current 6th graders to use over the summer the following week, once we have reconciled, tested, and cleaned our inventory.
Current 7th grade students should arrange for a rental with Mr. Mesner at Cardinal Heights. (jrmesne@sunprairieschools.org)
What about Ward-Brodt instruments?
We will also be collecting Ward-Brodt instruments that need to be returned during the last week of school. Please note that if your student wishes to keep his/her rental instrument over the summer, he/she does NOT need to turn it in.
