Looking Ahead: Solo Contest accompanists
NOW IS THE TIME!
Solo contest seems like it is a ways out, but now is the time to make arrangements for piano accompanists.
It is highly encouraged that anyone wanting to participate in the March 21st MISD solo contest should do these two things before leaving for Winter break:
1. Look at our website and secure one of our approved accompanists. CLICK HERE
2. Order a hard copy of their solo through a music publisher (can take up to 6 weeks to arrive)
Here are two of our favorite music suppliers (PENDERS) AND (JWPEPPER)
If you have any further questions about securing a solo/accompanists, feel free to talk to a private lesson teacher or one of the Boyd band directors.
Cool Weather is here!
The cold weather has made an appearance and will likely appear again, students are only allowed to wear the following Boyd Band spirit wear items:
Boyd Band pullover hoodie $30
Boyd Band front zip hoodie $35
Boyd Letterman's Jacket

Plan ahead and get these items early! Log on and order now! http://boydband.membershiptoolkit.com/
Online spirit wear orders will only be filled on Wednesdays. You may log onto your Membership Toolkit account (boydband.membershiptoolkit.com) and order any day of the week on Membership Toolkit. We will gather all of the orders, fill them from our stock and place them in a labeled box in the band hall for your student to pick up. We will send you an email once it is in the box. If we are out of the item you ordered, we will let you know.
