Will your child be joining or continuing in band in 2020?
Next term we will start the process of organising bands for 2020. Any child in Year 3 or above in 2020 may apply, details for registration for the 2020 music (band or strings) programs will be provided next term. Watch this space! Notes will come home with Year 2 and 3 students, so watch their school bags!
In order for the band program to run next year it is essential that the key band committee roles are filled. In particular a new Band Convenor is needed, as our current volunteer is leaving the school.
The Band Convenor's role is to liaise between the school and the band director and to coordinate the band program along with the other band committee members. This role can be shared between 2 (or more!) people. It's a great way to contribute to the music program and to your child's time at this school. No prior experience is required, but it will help if you take advantage of the opportunity for handover between now and the end of this year. To find out more please email band@artarmonpandc.org.au.
