As a program there are two possible summer scenarios. First: If kids don’t play their instruments regularly during the summer then we will take a huge step backwards and have to do a lot of review and catching up at the beginning of the school year. The second would be having students play regularly so that we can pick up next school year in about the same place we left off and keep moving forward towards excellence. To help we have playing opportunities for students ALL SUMMER LONG!
SUMMER READING BAND: EVERY Monday beginning June 7th (except for July 5th) from 6:00pm-8:00pm we will have summer reading band at Chaparral in room 150 (NE corner of the main building- first floor) followed by a team building game from 8:00pm-9:00pm.
