Meeting this Thursday for 8th Grade Band Parents

We will have a meeting this Thursday, May 4th, at 6:30pm in the middle school band hall for all parents of current 8th grade band students. The reason for this meeting is to go over high school marching band information. We will go over schedule, equipment requirements, and will answer any questions you might have. Since high school band is very different than middle school band, please make every effort to attend this meeting. A letter was sent home with all 8th graders last week. If you have any questions prior to the meeting, email Mr. Hecimovich, BHS Band Director. Thank you!

Summer Music Camps

A letter is being sent home with a list of summer music camps. I encourage you to consider sending your child to a band camp. They will learn a lot, make a lot of new friends, and be able to share new ideas and music they learned with our own band when they come back next school year.

I have posted a tab on the main page where you can click on each of the camps to find out more information. Don't delay! Many camps have audition music your child will need to prepare in advance as well as application deadlines.
