CJHS Band...A Message from Mr. Straw
Dear Parents of Columbus Junior High,
My name is Brian Straw. I am the new Junior High Band Director. I wanted to reach out to you to let you know that we are still in need of band students. Our band is rather small at the moment and I would like to offer the opportunity of your child to join our fabulous band program.
We would like to offer you a time option of 3 different schedules. Please email me: brian.straw@cisdschools.org your requested time. We will be handing out instruments to 7th and 8th graders who have already been a part of the program, as well as, testing the beginners for their instruments of success. If your child has not been in band and would like to learn a musical instrument, please let me know. We are always looking for students interested and willing to do the work needed to be successful.
Below you will find a schedule, Please try to pick 3 times as we are doing our best to limit the amount of traffic inside the school. I really look forward to seeing each of you and building a great band program.
Thank you,
Mr. Straw
