Enrolment for new band students for 2020 is now open
On Thursday 24 October, Year 2 and 3 students will have a music presentation from band and strings groups to help them decide if they are interested in joining band or strings next year. They will be able to bring home an information pack about the band program, and an information pack about the strings program. The information packs are also available online at https://portal.msmusic.com.au/artarmonmusic .
If your child would like to join band next year please read the band information pack. It gives details about the program including costs and time commitments, and has instructions about how to register for the band program. Please register your child by Friday 15th November, as we will hold instrument try-outs the following week to identify a suitable instrument for your child to learn.
Any child who will be in Years 3 to 6 in 2020 may join the band program, no prior musical experience is required. If your child is younger than this we look forward to welcoming them to band in Year 3!
