Music Resources for all Grades!
Although our year is ending in a we have never experienced, the YEAR HAS NOT ENDED! We are still a band family but just not able to see each other face to face. We do want to stay involved with you and care about what you are doing during this time.
Things will obviously look very different and we know you have a lot of things to manage right now. Throughout this seven weeks we hope to provide you with some resources that will continue to let us grow. We hope that you will find our musical activities to be a great addition to your day while having some fun in the process.
All assignments will be found in Google Classroom. Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band will both be doing the same assignment but should still submit to their respective class. You should already be signed up however if you are not the code was emailed to you. If you still can’t find it, email Mr. VanStrien.
