First Beginner Band Rehearsal
Our FIRST Beginner Band rehearsal will take place this Thursday, May 13 after ALL STAAR tests have been completed. You will be called down to the band hall for a rehearsal sometime in the afternoon. Because we don't know for sure when all tests will be complete, we need everyone to be flexible about the end time of this rehearsal. I think it will most likely be over before the regular school day ends, however, there is a chance we would need to rehearse until 5pm at the latest.
Please sign up for the Beginner Band REMIND - send a text to the phone number 81010 with the message @begbandhms - you do NOT need to download the app, just send one text message and you will begin to receive our messages.
We will send a message once we know what time the rehearsal is beginning (for anyone who will not be testing and can be dropped off at the BACK of the school at the start of our rehearsal) as well as an end time so you can plan for after school pickup. Thanks for being flexible with us on this day!

Rehearsals for Spring Concert
Beginner Band - Thursday, May 13 AND Friday, May 21 - we will begin rehearsal as soon as STAAR testing is complete for ALL students and will finish no later than 5:00pm. We hope to be able to start these rehearsals before the school day ends and be finished at regular dismissal time, but we cannot know that for sure until the day of due to not being allowed to start the rehearsals until ALL STAAR tests are completed. **Beginner students WILL bring their instrument to school on STAAR test days.**
