Important End of Year Reminders

Dear Band Parents,

Important End of Year Reminders Follow! Please read as there is updated information! 

End of year reminders:

1) Annually we take a celebration trip to Lake Compounce. Permission forms for this trip are due Friday. Students who are planning on attending but have not turned by tomorrow must see me. 

2) Graduation is the 18th (next Tuesday evening). All members of orchestra, volunteer members of 6th and 7th grade bands, and ALL  band members with siblings in 8th grade provide the music. Arrival time in the NFMS band room is 5:30pm for all students attending graduation. 

VERY IMPORTANT

3) Next week we are cleaning the band room, and unlocking all the lockers. If your child has an instrument in the band room it really needs to go home. The instruments may not be secure over the summer and the school is not responsible for any instruments left here. 

4) If your child has a school instrument, it needs to be returned to me by Monday the 17th . If they are taking it out for the summer they have to check in with me. 

5) Students playing school instruments can check them out over the summer. The instrument must be “checked back in” before I can check it out for the summer. This is true even for students playing graduation. They can borrow the instrument for the night of graduation, but otherwise it needs to stay in the band room. Unreturned instruments result in an accountability that will prevent your child getting their report card. 

Please contact me if you have any end of the year questions or concerns. Thank you for your time!
