Ending One Year and Beginning A New One!!

It's been an awesome year for the Golden Arrow Band! One more gig and we're done!!! Graduation is Saturday night. We'll meet at 6:30 at the band room to run over the music and then move to the stadium. Dress is standard concert dress. Guys- dress pants, dress shirts (tucked in) ties and dress shoes. Ladies - dresses, skirts or dress pants. No capris. NO DENIM ANYBODY. Athletic shoes are not dress shoes!! Look your best as we bid farewell to our senior class.

Band Camp forms need to be turned in with your $20 deposit ASAP!

Private lessons are available at the band room all summer long. If you want to take lessons this summer, sign up at the band office.

If you are interested in teaching private lessons to MS band members to earn some extra $$ let me know.

Summer Band:

Staff, Percussion and Guard will report on Wednesday, August 1st!!!
Full Band will report on Monday, August 6th.
We will rehearse each day from 8:00 until Noon the week of the 6th.
During the week of the 13th we will meet daily, but the time will be determined after the teachers' in-service schedule is released.

All school instruments must be returned and checked in on Tuesday, May 30 for summer repair. Scott will be picking up all equipment on that day, so don't forget to get it in on time. If you are going to camp and need your horn back for that, please let us know at that time so we can label it for early return.
