Dear parents and guardians:

     I want to thank you in advance for your very crucial support for the music program. I look forward to a prosperous year working with your children. I want to let you know at the end of lastyear the Band achieved a Superior (highest honor ) at the annual High Note Music Festival. This was the first time they achieved the award so I consider it a major victory. Students were focused and worketd very hard and most important, they had fun because they could see their progress. I would like to hit the start of this year with the same momentum. With that said student practice at home is Manditory!. Music will be assigned within the first 2 weeks of school 

.Weekly practicals will be given to enforce retained material. Students are expected to attend performances and showcases. The following special points are to be noted:

-The attire required sor all events are the "School Uniform" and "Black slacks/skirts and a white shirt/blouse.

- Parents will be invited to join class dojo and the "band" app to monitor class events and student achievement even on a daily basis if needed.

-Encourage students to have a set practice time and space at home to enforce consistency on the instrument.

Lets have a great year and enjoy this new beginning together.

Mr. Hammond
