Dates to Remember – Our Next Big Event

Current Band Students Returning in 2019

Current band parents have been sent an email requesting them to re-enroll their student for next year (apart from Year 6 - we hope you continue your musical journey at high school). Please complete the form, even if your child is not continuing in 2019, so we can maintain our database.

If your child is continuing in the band and will be in Year 5 or Year 6 next year, they may audition to attend the 2019 Hawaii Music Tour. Please complete the online permission form if you wish them to be considered for a place on the tour. If you have any questions about the tour, please contact Mr. Coombes (School Executive Staff Member).

Joining the Band Program

Interested in joining the band program in 2019? Our program welcomes new students who will be in Years 3, 4, 5, or 6 next year. (If your child is than this, we look forward to meeting them when they are in Year 3!) No prior music experience is required. Band information packs are available at https://portal.msmusic.com.au/artarmonmusic

It is essential that parents read the 2019 Band Information Pack to fully understand the costs and commitments for both parents and students before registering their child. To register your child to join the band, click on the ‘New Student Registration’ button on the same screen. If you already have a child in the music program you can also use the ‘Add Student’ button in the MySchoolMusic parent portal.

The deadline for applying for new band applications is Friday 16 November 2018 as instrument try-outs will take place the following week. Don’t be late!!

Volunteers for 2019

Halfway through Term 4 and the end of the year is nigh! Now is the time to be thinking of …

VOLUNTEERING WITH THE BAND PROGRAM!!

Yes, I am serious! Now is the best opportunity to consider how you can support our amazing band program. All of the administrative work is done by parent volunteers. There is a WIDE range of work available with a wide range of wonderful people to work with. Unfortunately, some of them will be leaving Artarmon Public School at the end of 2018. So now is the perfect time to jump in and see what it is all about. Ask questions; learn from those who are doing the role now; and most of all, have a taste of how you can help the band program AND still live your own life too (yes, it’s true!). If you are interested in what roles might be available or seeing where you might fit in, send an email to the Band Convener (details below).
