Knight Band Notes- Beginner Band 9/13/19

Greetings Knight Band Students and Parents!

Instruments are coming home!!  Please help your young musician make a plan as to how they will get them home (especially if they ride a bike) and where they will practice (should be a quiet place free from distractions).   French horn, Euphonium, and Tuba those instruments will stay home.  They will have a ‘school instrument’ and a ‘home instrument’. If the home instrument needs repair please bring it up to the school. 

* Weekend Assignment
The beginners were given a fun assignment for the weekend!  They get to teach YOU how to assemble, produce a sound, clean and disassemble their instrument!  Parent Teach 2019. 

*19-20 Band Uniform Shirts

We will distribute your student’s uniform shirt on Wednesday, 9/18/19, if their band bundle has been paid for. We will encourage students to wear them or put them away immediately.
