Instrument trials this week
Instrument trials will be held on Thursday 21 November; parents of children who are on the list for trials on Thursday have been notified by email. If your child is sick or absent on Thursday please email band@artarmonpandc.org.au to let us know so we can reschedule. If you registered late or have not registered to join band then we are unable to give your child a trial this Thursday. We may be able to arrange another instrument trial date, we will let you know.
Please complete the 'Re-enrolment' form if your child is in Year 3 to 5
All parents of band members in years 3 – 5 need to complete the online 'Re-enrolment' form to let us know whether your child is continuing in band next year. An email has been sent to all these parents with details. We need this to be completed by 22 November at the latest please, as it takes time to prepare the audition schedule. If your child is leaving band, or leaving the school, we need to know, so please take the time to indicate this on the form – it only takes you a second and really helps us. Many thanks to the parents who have done it already!
Hired Instrument return and reissue
Please put the hired instrument return (Thursday 13 December) and re-issue (Friday 14 December) dates in your diary. ALL hired instruments MUST be returned for our annual audit and service inspection on 13th December and will ONLY be available for collection for practice over the holidays to continuing students on Friday 14 December. Full instructions will be emailed to instrument hirers.
