Summer is almost over!

Greetings,

I hope you have had a fantastic summer, and you are almost ready to come back to school!
I am almost ready...maybe after the eclipse.

Below are some things you might like to know before school starts. I will be sure to share this information in class as well.

1. Getting your instrument.

• If you are in 7th-8th grade band, we will be playing on the 2nd day of school, so bring your instrument! I will also be checking out school horns on that day, if you need to rent one for the year.
• If you are a 6th grader or parent, please read this important advice about your musical instrument HERE. First day with instruments will be Monday, September 11.
• We will be hosting a rental night, with instruments provided by Beacock Music on Thursday, September 7, starting at 6:30PM in the SHS Commons.

2. Concert dates.

• Concert dates for the 2017-18 school year can be found HERE. Make sure you mark these dates into your family calendar right away.

3. Concert Uniform.

• We are changing things up this year, to hopefully look sharper, be less hassle, and be more affordable.
• 7th-8th grade band: All black, long sleeves, dress pants, or long skirts, or skirts with leggings or tights, black socks/shoes. For more information click HERE.
• 6th grade band: A t-shirt that will be fun and funky, not to exceed $10 in cost. Order forms will be available during class. Your choice for bottoms, must meet school dress code.

See you soon!!

Musically, 

McG
