It's the last week of school, yet we're still busy! We have graduation (congrats seniors!), percussion camp, guard camp, and carnival all rapidly approaching - it's great to be able to spend time with our band family!

As the year winds down, start making sure you know where all school owned items and equipment are located. All uniforms should be turned in - seniors, if you borrowed your uniform for Senior Pictures, please return it ASAP. All flip folders and provided lyres should already be in.
Inventory Day - School owned instruments will be assessed for and wear or damage on Tuesday the 21st. ALL school owned instruments must be left in the Band Hall on Tuesday the 21st, NO exceptions. If you wish to check out an instrument over the summer, we will take care of it AFTER inventory day.
If you're missing any google classroom assignments, please take care of those ASAP. I will be updating all grades for the year this week.
