Beginning Band Parent Night, for families of Country Meadows fourth graders, is Monday, May 20. Interested families are invied to attend.
Next year as a 5th grader, your child will have the opportunity to participate in the school’s Beginning Band. Band is a lot of fun! And it provides social interaction while strengthening general skills. Making music together and developing a critical ear can be a meaningful and enjoyable experience for many years.
Here’s what 4th graders and their families will experience before the end of this school year and into next year:
- School Assembly: Students will learn about band instruments and how band works.
- Instrument "Try Its": During the regular school day, students will try two of their favorite instruments, and the teacher will make a recommendation based on the student's affinities and the needs of the band.
- Parent Meeting: Learn more at the “Beginning Band Parent Meeting” at 6:30 p.m. Monday, May 20, in the Woodlawn band room.
- Band Registration and Instrument Rental: You may register for band starting after the Parent Meeting on May 20. After registering for band, you will need to obtain the instrument, supplies and music book. For your convenience, Quinlan and Fabish music store will be available in the Woodlawn Cafeteria from 4:30-7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 22, 2024. You can sign up for band, talk to the band teacher, and obtain the instrument, supplies and book all on the same night.
- Band Lessons Begin: Band lessons begin in August. The first band lesson will be without instruments. Before the second band lesson, all students must have their own instrument, book and supplies.
