Hello, hello, hello!
I'm sending this a little bit late because I had to clarify a few details, but here's your update for the final week of school! We have a Memorial Day Parade rehearsal from 1pm-3pm at CM on Friday. Alumni are welcome to join us for this rehearsal and parade! Please encourage them to! The more, the merrier. :) The Memorial Day Parade is on Monday, May 29. We will meet at CM to grab instruments and load busses, then we will head to the Boys and Girls Club to line up. Busses will pick us up at the end of the route after the ceremony and will drop us back off at CM. That is where you will want to pick up your child. ALL SCHOOL OWNED INSTRUMENTS NEED TO BE LEFT AT THE SCHOOL. We are doing an inventory and will have to re-check out instruments to those of you that rent instruments. More details on the date of this check out will be coming soon. As of right now, plan for it to be sometime during the week of June 19. For those of you that are volunteering to help reorganize uniforms, that date will be coming out soon. During the summer, I will usually only send out monthly emails rather than weekly emails. If you need to contact me over the summer about absences, please do so over my email. I will not be checking my phone very often. I will be unavailable to be contacted from June 28 through July 10. Percussion weekly rehearsals will begin next Wednesday, May 31st. They will be twice a week, on Mondays and Wednesdays, from 3pm-5pm. Please communicate absences via e-mail ASAP.
