NOVEMBER BAND SCHEDULE

· Band takes place Day 1 (PM), Day 3 (AM) and Day 5 (PM) for St. Edwards Elementary. From time to time there will be additional rehearsals. Please listen to announcements for these times.

· All Advance Grade Six Students are expected to attend both beginner sectional classes for their particular instruments as well as rehearsals specifically assigned to Advance Grade Six Students for this month. For example, advance clarinet players will have band Nov 3^rd at 1:35 as well as Nov 5^th at 9:50.

· November band schedule can be found on the school web site.

· Parents of saxophone and clarinet players need to pick up extra reeds for the year. A purchase of 10 reeds should be sufficient. I would suggest five 2 ½ Ricos and five number 3 Ricos.
