Information About Band

Here is a message from Mr. Cooper, the band director:

Hi,

I know all of you have been wondering when 5th grade band will begin for this year, so I want to update you on what we are planning on doing.  5th grade band will begin on September 28th. More details on the schedule will be posted when that is finalized.   So if you haven't obtained an instrument yet, you still have some time!  

To obtain an instrument:

The first step, is to make sure to check the list of what instrument your child is playing which is posted on the 5th Grade band website.  This list was first posted in the Spring but has had a few people added over the summer.  If you were already on the list in the Spring nothing has changed.  If you believe there is a mistake or have any questions about the list, be sure to contact me and we will get it sorted out.

Please make a habit of checking the 5th grade band website which can be found here:

The second step is to get to Kincaid's, Hometown Music, or obtain an instrument and accessories sometime before the start date.  If you have already set up a rental or plan to rent an instrument with either place, I will be setting up a date and time for you to pick up those instruments once they are delivered to the school.  I will update you via e-mail on when that will be.

I plan to begin a Google calendar just for 5th grade band and will also provide important updates via the website.

Also on the 5th Grade Band Website are instructions to join the 5th Grade Band REMIND text service if you haven't done so already.  I will be able to keep you up to date via this service as well.
