Band starts up this week!

Students should be ready to play this Friday.  We will be doing some paperwork on Thursday, but feel free to bring your instrument in that day. 

For the new freshmen, we will also issue rental instruments, if available.  A limited number of rental instruments will be given out, with priority given to those who do not have an instrument.  Hopefully you have an instrument you can leave at home for practice.  We should be able to supply you with a second instrument.  This, of course, depends on the instrument and what is available.  We will work this out with your son after Labor Day.

Remember, ALL instruments in school need an ID tag!  You can buy one from the school for $1.00.
