Have a good summer!

  • Typo notice: the registration form said 6th grade needs book 2.  Sorry I was thinking last year 6th grade.  5th and 6th need book one, 7th and 8th need book two.  Everyone should have the right book except 7th graders need to buy book 2.  Sorry about the problem, and I'll help take care of it if you bought the wrong thing, although they will need book 2 eventually. 
  • Students will not need horns/books until the second class meeting.
  • All 6th graders will need a 2" 3 ring binder every day of music class.
