Students, please bring a pencil, your music/binder (with page protectors), and your INSTRUMENT every day. Even though students are not required to turn in practice minutes, daily practice is recommended and preferred. It's not a matter of how many minutes you practice, but the quality and accomplishments while you practice. If you have questions about your practice time regimen, let a director know.
We will let you know what book we would like for you to look for later. You NEED to bring your RED Book 2 to school with you on the first day of band!
