Don't forget! This Thursday evening, there will be a meeting at 6:00pm in the Band/Music Room for all beginning band students and parents. Griggs Music will be there to talk to you about their instrument rental program, and you may also arrange for renting an instrument without even having to go to the store!
The students were all so excited to try the different instruments on Friday and seem to be very excited to get started on an instrument. I am looking forward to meeting all of you tomorrow night. If you are unable to attend tomorrow evening but are interested, please let me know; you can always go to Griggs Music at your convenience and make arrangements for an instrument for your child.

The start of a new school year!
Welcome to the 2010-2011 school year! Hopefully everyone had a wonderful summer and are well rested. Today, I sent home a letter to all 5th Grade students about instrument testing this Friday at 9:00am. I am looking forward to meeting all of them and anxious to see what instruments they choose.
For Middle School Band: I sent home a letter to both students and parents, along with the an email consent form that needs to be returned to me by Wednesday, August 25th. You will also be receiving Lourdes Band Classroom Rules and Expectations from me, but that probably won't be until Friday. I also intend to post it on my blog page so you can refer to it when needed.
