No school for students tomorrow- Mon., Feb. 21.
Reminder- Lifetouch will be here Friday, Feb 18th for Band Pictures so Band Members wear full band uniform (Band polo, khaki pants, etc).
You can either wear your band shirt and pants to school when you come into the school or ask after you eat lunch during lunch period to go change. Tuck in your band shirt for the picture so that we all look uniform and nice.
You will be called from the office intercom around 1pm.
When you come to the band room put your things neatly under or behind your seat or put in your instrument storage spot. Percussion will get a pair of drumsticks or mallets.
Get out your instrument and put your case back in your storage spot- no playing this is just for the picture and we have limited time because I need to leave for Jefferson Elementary by 1:40 pm.
I will line up bands to hallway door starting with 6th grade band, flute clarinet alto saxophone trumpet trombone percussion. Behind that in line will be 7th and 8th grade band, flute clarinet alto saxophone trumpet percussion.
Thank you for being prepared for tomorrow and listening not being loud and being respectful when you come down to the band room for those pictures.
Thanks,
Mr. Davis
