*Informational meeting about what to expect in band and fill out band paperwork

6th Grade Beginner Parents: 5:30pm-6:30pm

7th/8th Grade Parents: 7:00pm-8:00pm

Instrument Drive: 5:30-7:00pm

• 6th Grade Band Parents: If you have not secured an instrument or supplies for your child, this is the perfect opportunity for you to visit with our local music stores we work with to secure an instrument/supplies. We also have the list of stores we work with and their online links to their stores below.

• 7th/8th Grade Band Parents: If your child is playing on a beginner instrument, you can look into "step-up" instruments at this drive. The music stores have higher brands and qualities of instruments if you are looking into renting one for your child or you can talk to the music company you are already renting from about an upgraded instrument. If your child is playing on a school-owned instrument and you want to provide them with their own, this would also be a great opportunity to do so. No, this is not required.
