Washington DC Update for 7th & 8th grade –
Students should be able to create an account and start making payments for the Washington DC trip. Our students were given the trip number, account instructions, and payment schedule. More copies are available in the band building. Student down payments are due October 9. The website is http://www.music-travel.com. There is a link on our site.
Only band students should sign up at this point in the process with parental help. Parents interested in chaperoning should contact the band office to be placed on the potential chaperon list. Chaperons will start signing up soon.
Keep in mind students need to attend extra after-school or evening rehearsals in the spring and not receive any type of suspension or expulsion from school to be eligible to participate. The down payment is non-refundable.
Good Luck to the Marching Stars –
We want to wish our BNL Marching Stars the best of luck as they travel to Springs Valley HS for contest this weekend. Go Stars!
Beginning Band Books –
All the beginning students will need a beginning band book. We use Essential Elements 2000. Most students that rented from Paige’s Music already have this and others may too. The percussion book includes the snare and bell music and costs $15. The rest of the band books are $9. The students that need a book can purchase it from the band office as the books arrive. We started using these in class on Wed. Sept. 9.
Checks can be made out to BMS Band.
Have a great week!
