This is your weekly MUSIC DEPARTMENT update!
Hello Folks!
Just one more week of a push until Thanksgiving Break!
Please make sure you stay on top of things-- including your health-- during this part of the year. The easiest way to help lower the likelihood of catching unwanted pathogens is to WASH YOUR HANDS OFTEN. It also help to reduce bodily contact and to stay out of other people's faces. Carry hand sanitizer with you, and if you can't, utilize classroom hand sanitizer whenever you can, especially after using the restroom and after touching doorknobs.
We're not going to be able to do S/E hearings like I wanted to, but we will do them in a different way. Please make sure you are practicing for Solo and Ensemble.
End of Year Trip!
Parents! The end of the year trip has been decided and you are now able to make payments toward the trip.
Please let Mrs. Luke know if you have any questions by emailing her at president@bakercountybands.org.
