Music Chairs

The music children are very excited as the long-waited music chair are finally here. Strings and Band have purchased 60 posture chair that allow music children to sit in the manner that best suits their style and instrument. The cost of these chair has already been included in the semester music fees.

Parent Volunteers Needed!!

As you may know, ALL of the administration of the Band Program (and Strings) is completed entirely by parent volunteers.  Currently we have two openings of new parent volunteers to fill empty roles. Volunteering to help out with band is a great way to connect with the school community, gain a better understanding of the music & band program and most importantly your child will be thrilled that you are involved with something they are involved in.

If you are able to assist or have any further questions on any of the roles, please email band.artarmonpandc@gmail.com

• Instrument Coordinator Assistant
