Dear Junior High Band Parents:

 

The sixth, seventh, and eight grade band students will again be very busy learning new skills or pushing their skill level up to a new height.  We would like to know when problems arise at home regarding the instruments, practicing, or concert dates.  Please call us and let us be involved in the problems early in the process.

 

Here are a few answers to the most commonly asked questions:
