Detroit Symphony Orchestra for 6th Grade Permission slips went home last week. At this time, all available chaperon spots are filled and any additional volunteers will be placed on a wait list until we know how many students are attending. All slips and money must be in by Thursday, March 30. State Festival 7th Grade has been registered for State Band Festival! Our possible dates are April 28 or April 29 at Sterling Heights High School. Additional details should be posted after Spring Break. Reeds We are running into a consistent issue of students running out of reeds. A&G Central and Anderson's visit weekly and can deliver reeds to students if you call ahead. I do keep a small stock of reeds here, but they are dwindling rapidly. Clarinet and saxophone reeds should be purchased in packs of ten before the last one is unusable. Please contact your students' teacher if you have any additional questions. We're coming into another busy time of year for all our students and it's hard keep up without reeds! Private Lessons Along with the great FREE program we have available with SCHS for tutoring, we're fortunate to live in an area with outstanding professional private teachers as well. If you're interested, please see the information posted in Important Documents to get in touch with a private instructor. ALL students can benefit from the expertise of a specialist in their instrument! 8th Grade Band Students are encouraged to start keeping up with Mrs. Staniszewski's updates on the SCHS Band site as well. Important information regarding auditions for next year's ensembles and band camp will be shared there soon!
