It's been a busy week at Woodstown! Congrats to our promoted 8th graders! And also to our departing Alumni! We hope to see all of you visiting us often. You have helped continue the long tradition of successful bands here and are a part of our forever band family!
Everyone should have cleaned out their band locker, turned in ALL music and taken all personal items home. Anything left in the school over the summer is absorbed into the school inventory. If you left anything there, see Ms Sheridan about retrieving it asap.
We will be scheduling a band room/closet clean out and instrument inventory day soon. Please let me know if you can help. Remember, this is your band and the best way for it succeed is to take ownership of that! Thank you to those of you that have already helped with getting this started (Emilee, Kailyn, Lizzy etc!)
Now is the time to schedule your physicals. Everyone must have this done by August. Please use this link to follow the school procedure. If you have played a sport and have had this done already, check to make sure it hasn't expired.
