Pre-Festival Concert The 8th Grade Band will be performing as a part of Stoney Creek's Pre-Festival concert on February 22. The performance will begin at 6:30. Students need to be at SCHS, in uniform by 6:00. Instrument Care With flu season in full swing, it's a good idea to remind students not to share instruments with siblings or friends. Students who have been ill are recommended to discard old reeds and wash their mouthpieces with soap and water (no boiling!!!). Be sure to avoid getting corks on clarinet mouthpieces wet and do not submerge flute head joints in water. Percussionists should also wash their hands in the sink in the storage room before and after class to prevent germs from being spread on shared instruments and mallets. Private Lessons Whether looking to get caught up or needing a greater challenge, it's never too late to get started with some private lessons! Information for free lessons with Stoney Creek students will be posted in Google Classroom. We are also fortunate to live in an area with many professional private instructors. Check out the list under Important Documents!
