Upcoming Events:
9/19, 6-7 PM at SCHS-8th Grade Rehearsal with SCHS Marching Band 9/23-8th Grade Invited to SCHS Homecoming (see below post for timeline) 10/1-Rochester Community Schools Marching Band Festival (see post below for timeline) School Use Instruments ALL students using an instrument from Hart MUST fill out this form along with their adult. Students who do not fill it out by the end of the week will not be allowed to bring their instrument home until it is completed. 6th Grade Beginners By now, all 6th graders should be able to assemble their instrument independently and play at least three notes. We know these early sounds can be...enthusiastic as we get going but PLEASE encourage your student to bring their instrument home on a regular basis and do some playing for you. From our experience, one of the biggest predictors of beginner student success is developing a regular practice schedule and sticking with it. Even 10-15 minutes a few days a week can have a HUGE impact on your student's confidence and comfort with their instrument. (This is great for more experienced players too!!!) All State Ensembles Any student interested in auditioning for this year's All State Ensembles needs to fill out the form in Google Classroom no later than TODAY! (Monday) Private Lessons We have two great options for students to get extra help and/or challenge them as they learn.
