St.Mary's Band First Semester Music Notes

Welcome to the 2010-2011 school year at St.Mary's

I am really looking forward to an exciting school year and yet another great year of Band here at St. Mary's

The 5th Grade band is starting up,on September 8th. Please make sure to remind the students to practice each day at home, and bring their instrument and book each Wednesday for lessons. Once again the beginning band will work out of the Red covered Standard of Excellence book.After Christmas vacation, the 5th grade students will meet as a class combined in place of general music.

The 6th, 7th and 8th grade band will begin  preparing for our Winter Concert.  Our Winter Concert will take place in Topper Hall on Wednesday, December 15th.The Concert will begin at 7:00 p.m. and feature the Band and Chorus

It is a thrill for me to have so many students enrolled in band.

One special request, if your son or daughter plays clarinet or saxaphone, can you please purchase a box of reeds.Also, percussionists will need to supply their own drum sticks.

These can be purchased at Breber music. You can reach them at 1 800 686-8737.

If you have any questions about band, please feel free to contact me through the St.Mary's web site or call me at
