Friendly Reminder: Tuesday night rehearsals (6:30-8:30pm) are a requirement of this class as outlined in the band handbook.
Driver and Lawnmower needed!
We have a pit percussion section this year! This is comprised of students at the front of the band that perform on stationary percussion equipment. We have a couple of trailers to haul the equipment but we need a lawnmower or gator-style vehicle to tow it. If you have one of those vehicles that we can borrow for the home football games and competitions, could you please let me know?
Back to School Info
Middle School students do NOT need to bring their instruments on the first day of school.
MS students who are doing band AND choir will come to BAND on Tuesday, September 6th. You will receive a band/choir calendar to keep at home that first week.
7th grade band students will need to buy the Standard of Excellence Book 2 (blue cover) for their instrument. You can purchase the regular version for about $7. The enhanced version with the CD will be around $11. You can find the book online at Amazon or locally at Quinlan & Fabish or Meyer Music stores.
