7th-8th Band

May 2

Lessons are ongoing!! Lesson books, new marching music, scales and honor band music for some.

May 28 - Memorial Day Parade - all current 7-11 band members march in this parade. If you are out of town or have a commitment, just send me an email or have your student bring a written note, and it will be excused, but there has to be communication. This is a grade in the gradebook, like any of our performances or public appearances - an extension of our classroom.

Summer Lesson forms just went out this week and are due back by May 15. Grades 7-12 for next year, have the opportunity to have individual lessons with Mr. Ohrlund once a week, from July 2 through August 3. It is attached below.

Uniforms are to be returned by MAY 4!!! I need to send them to the dry cleaners so they are ready for next year.

I think that is all for now - any questions or concerns you may have, please feel free to email me or call. Thanks
