The Grade 8 Concert Band is preparing for its first
performance of the year at the Remembrance
Day Service, Friday, November 7th at 9:00 am. Grade 8 Band students are asked to wear their
band shirt with black pants or skirt unless they are otherwise in uniform. Set up for the assembly will take place
periods 1 & 2 Thursday, November 6th and dress rehearsal will be
periods 5 & 6. If your child cannot
attend the dress rehearsal please notify Mrs. Johnson at tjohnson@sjsd.net as soon as
possible.
Grade 7 & 8 Band students start planning now for
our Band Trip to the International Music Camp (IMC) at the Peace Gardens May
27-29! It is always a great time filled with
wonderful musical experiences. Students
get to go with their friends from Bruce and other middle schools in the
division. They return home with
improved musical skills, more confidence, and lasting memories to prepare them
for high school. The cost to attend this
world-renowned camp is $200. Please mark this trip on your calendar
and make it a priority. The first payment
of $80 will be due in February.
