      Welcome to the 2022-2023 School Year!

      All instrumental students will be using Microsoft Teams. This helps with commuication, lesson scheduling, and use of lesson materials digitally. Students will be added to an instrument team for their specific instrument and level of instruction. Schedules will be posted during the first week of school and followed through Teams throughout the school year.

      There will be information for all beginning band students coming out during the week of September 12th, when you will all see the band demonstrations and how to sign up for lessons and beginner lesson schedules for each instrument. All instrument rental information will be released the week of demonstrations.
