There are two concert bands offered at KMS:
Senior high band (9-12th graders)
Junior high band (7-8th graders)
Concerts are a mandatory part of being in band. All concerts dates are listed below, they have been posted around the band room since the beginning of the school year, they have posted on Google Classroom for students, and sent out to parents. These dates should be on your calendar, and student will receive a grade for attending the concerts.
If a student cannot attend a concert, they must notify Mr. Sikkink at least one month in advance. If there is an emergency, extenuating circumstance, or illness that causes you to miss a concert, the student and parent should email or call Mr. Sikkink ASAP. A make up assignment may be required in order to not affect the students grade.
