Message from the director:
We are excited that you are joining the 5th grade band this year! We have a lot of instrument choices for you to consider and I look forward to receiving your submitted "Instrument Matching Tool" form to join the band. We thank you in advance for considering your instrument selection thoughtfully, knowing that we need to create a balanced ensemble with the right proportion of instruments in each section. Students who are interested in Mallets/Percussion MUST have piano instruction experience. Your "Instrument Matching Tool" form should be submitted by Sept. 18th. You will be contacted by email on Sept. 20th with your instrument placement. We will have a sign up meeting for parents and students on Sept. 21st. Please plan to attend one of the two meetings on this date (4:30 or 5:30 PM).
