Music educators from Music and Arts will be with us all day helping prospective students decide which instrument is their favorite or best fit. It's a fun opportunity to get to see what it's like playing a band instrument. It's a lot easier than it looks and the more you do it, the easier and more fun it gets! 4th Grade classes will visit the band room during pre-scheduled times throughout the day.
Any 5th-11th grade students interested in joining Band, please register for a May 8th Instrument Fitting during your lunch! Fill out the google form to Register: https://forms.gle/tTSfSWYrm1kXj6ix6
