One week to go!!!!
Room Updates To make the band room more inviting, comfortable, and collaborative we’re seeking some furniture pieces outside our usual band chairs and stands. Thank you so much to the family who donated our new couch. If you have any of the following in good, clean condition from a non-smoking home and would be interested in donating, we’d love to add it to our room:
New Band Students This year’s rental night will be Wednesday, September 7 from 6-8PM in our cafeteria. Representatives from A&G Central and Anderson’s Music will both be on hand to rent out instruments. Students may also borrow from the school, but please be aware that there is very limited availability for certain instruments such as saxophone. We will always make sure that all of our students have an instrument to play, but those using school horns may not get their first choice. If you have more specific questions about rental programs, here is their information:
Personal Technology While absolutely not a requirement, students are welcomed and encouraged to bring their personal technology to class on the first day as well as throughout the year. All students will have an opportunity to utilize it for welcome back activities! It would be very helpful if 6th Grade students would download a QR Code reader prior to the first day as it will play a big part in our day on Tuesday! 8th Grade Band Our first performance of the year will be with Stoney Creek's band at Homecoming on September 30.

First post of the new school year! With school only a month away here are some reminders and updates on things to get us started in September:
Performance Schedule Our performance schedule to date can be found here. There are still some additions to be made, but make sure to mark what we have on the family calendar. 8th Grade families, please note that we'll be performing with Stoney Creek at their Homecoming game on September 30. More details on combined rehearsals with them will be shared once school starts.

Returning Band Students If your instrument was in need of repairs before the school year ended and work still needs to be done, now would be a great time to get it into the shop. The very end of summer and first part of the shcool year are really busy for repairs so it may take longer to get it back. If you take it in now, it'll be ready to go for the first week of school. Additionally, take a look at your stock of reeds. If you can't remember if you played on it or how old it is, your best bet is to throw it out and start fresh. Last, please start playing again. Play some pop music. Serenade your neighbors. Get together with another band friend. Even a little bit a day can really help us get going faster when we go back. The sooner we can get everyone back into playing shape, the sooner we can start playing the good stuff!
