It's hard to believe we're wrapping up February this week! Here is some info and reminders as we prepare for five days a week soon.
Band PPE Students need their instrument and clean PPE for every class. We cannot loan out PPE. It's been sad to see students unable to play this last week because they didn't have their playing mask and bell covers. It can be helpful to safety pin the mask, cover, and bag together when washing to make sure nothing gets lost in the wash. Additionally, class is a lot more fun with an instrument! :) Please have your student set reminders or alarms to help them remember which days they need their instrument for class. Supply Orders If your student needs anything from reeds, to valve oil, to their 6th grade band book (which is highly recommended for all our 6th graders), please bring in THIS FORM along with a check made out to A&G Central. Supplies will be dropped off by our rep on Friday afternoons. Band Apparel Our band apparel order window ends this coming weekend! Students are not required to purchase a band shirt, but we'd love to see everyone showing their band pride! Please use THIS LINK to place orders.

Welcome to our first band update of 2021! It has been marvelous hearing our students playing instruments in person together again!!!! Here are a few things of note as we settle into our F2F learning:
MSBOA Solos: Congratulations to our seven students who participated in Solo and Ensemble this last week. We're proud of you for playing solos even with all the changes this year! Band PPE: Students are encouraged to use things like safety pins to help adjust their masks to ensure a secure and secure fit. We also recommend that students try practicing with their masks and bell covers on to get more comfortable with their use. Instrument covers, masks, and bags must be washed between every class. If students forget their PPE, they cannot play that day as we do not have extras. If you have not yet paid for the PPE your student received, please use this link. Band Supplies/Accessories: Students in need of everything from reeds to swabs to 6th grade band books can use THIS FORM to order from A&G Central. 7th and 8th Grade percussionists are also STRONLY encouraged to purchase their own mallet and stick bag to avoid sharing of mallets as much as possible. |
