Grade 6 - Welcome to Band!


Hello Grade 6 Band Families!

Welcome to the Martin Area Band program! A package of information will be sent home with your student today – we hope they had a fantastic first day back to school!

I thought it would be helpful to email out the information too, in case the band note gets lost in the shuffle of the busy first days of school.

All of our updates and information is also always posted to our blog: https://martinareaband.blogspot.com/

Topics you will find in the package (attached) include:
  • How to obtain an instrument
  • Other supplies required including the red method book
  • When band starts and a schedule for Sept-Dec
    • **The Headstart Clinic on Sept 18, 4:30-7:30 at McLurg School**
    • Winter Concert Date: December 11
  • An instrument loan form for families who are renting an instrument through the school (bass clarinet, french horn, euphonium, tuba)

Students do not need to bring their instruments to school until the Headstart Clinic. We also recommend that they do not open and try to play their instruments before learning valuable beginner information at the clinic.

Please do not hesitate to contact us at any time with any questions or concerns.

We are looking forward to meeting the new young musicians in our program and exploring the world of music with them!

Martin Area Band Team
