The following is the finalized schedule for 5th grade band along with the starting date for each instrument. This Friday, Flutes will be on the stage, however normally we will meet in the cafeteria.
A Day: Flutes (Friday 10/2)
B Day: Clarinets and Saxophones (Monday 10/5)
C Day: Trumpets (Tuesday 10/6)
D Day: Trombones/Baritones (Wednesday 10/7)
E Day: Percussion (Thursday 10/8)
Students will only need to bring their instrument and book (Tradition of Excellence, Book 1) on their instrument day. In the future, we will have full band on Wednesday afternoons, but that start date will be determined later. It is extremely important that each student brings their materials to class each week and that each student is practicing material from their book. Private lessons are highly encouraged but not required. They can be scheduled at many music stores including Kincaids in Springfield and Hometown Music in Urbana.
Please be sure to place a student name on the instrument name tag and inside of the band book in case someone misplaces these items. If you don't have a name tag, you can obtain one at a music store.
Hopefully this answers a lot of the questions that you have.
