Hi, band parents! Today's rehearsal will be with our percussionists. So, if your student plays drums, cymbals, piano or glockenspiel, today is their da for rehearsal. Pick up is at 4pm. Thanks!

Hey band parents!

Quick reminders:

Band rehearsal — Jan 28 (all members, full-group)
Choir rehearsal — Jan 29 (all members, full-group)
Please send your student with their completed forms — we can’t let them rehearse until we have them. We’ll also go over the new schedule and rehearsal rules together.

One more thing: please bring a plain black T‑shirt so we can add our logo — these will be used for upcoming concerts and performances.

If you have any questions, feel free to message me on Thrillshare or Band App. Can’t wait to see everyone!
