Middle school Summer band/Summer orchestra
For Whom?
Any student entering 6th, 7th, or 8th grade, with at least 6 months of playing experience is encouraged to sign up.
When?
The groups meet the 2nd and 3rd weeks of July, Monday - Thursday from 12:30 - 2:30 at Farnsworth. There is a concert on the last Thursday at Fountain Park at 6 p.m. Rain location will be the SHS Commons. Concert attendance is required.
Cost?
FREE! FREE! FREE! FREE! There is no rental fee or instructional fee.
Instrument Rental?
Students who want to rent a school instrument need to make arrangements with their band/orchestra director before school lets out in June. If you do not make your own arrangements, an instrument will not magically appear for you to use. Sounds silly, I know, but every year it happens……….
If you are going to be renting an oboe, bassoon, bass clarinet, tenor or bari sax, french horn, trombone, baritone, tuba, cello or bass from the school in 6th grade, it would be easiest to contact your middle school director and use the middle school instrument over the summer, then you have it in fall for the beginning of the school year.
Why?
Because its FUN! FUN! FUN! and I know by July you will be missing Mrs. Milsted (ha, ha!) But seriously, it is a good way to keep up your playing skills over the summer!
Ice Cream?
Yup, ice cream. There will be an ice cream party during a portion of the last day's rehearsal!
How do I sign up?
You can sign up on-line through the SASD Summer School Page or fill out this form and send it in to Mrs. Worthman at James Madison school. She is the summer school secretary and she takes care of all summer course registrations for the entire district. (She is one busy lady!)
