Attention 5th Graders! Join 6th Grade Band at Thompson!
6th Grade Band is open to ALL incoming 6th Graders for the 2021-22 school year! This year 5th graders were not allowed to play wind instruments, but things are back to normal for next year! Students can choose from flute, oboe, clarinet, alto sax, french horn, trumpet, trombone, baritone, tuba or percussion. And don't worry -- ALL 6th graders will be at the beginner level on their wind instruments -- you will not be behind!
There will be a Parent Info Zoom Meeting on May 17 at 6:30 PM. Here is the link:
