A Note From Your Directors
Staley Band Families,
We officially made it through the first FULL week of school and the students handled it so well! We are settling into a normal routine with our advanced bands playing every day and we are diving deep into learning in our beginning band classes.
ALL Band students: A few things for note for this week: Spirit night and Meet the Teacher on Thursday, Sectionals begin for AB this week, all paperwork should be in by this point except for Form 5. All Form 5's will be handed out this week and should be returned promptly. These are for school owned instruments only. If you have not already contacted Ms. Hoffman about enrolling in lessons then please do so soon! More information is below.
Beginning Band: Please ensure you have obtained all of the required supplies including an instrument if you are renting. We are opening cases the week and we would hate for any student to fall behind. Please reach out ASAP if there is a concern.
Advanced Band: Sectionals begin this week! Please see the schedule below. Sectionals are a required portion of the students success and grade every week. All students should be practicing their pep tunes, and scales. Symphonic Band members should be practicing their All Region music. If there are any Honor Band students interested in auditioning for All Region their should contact Ms. Hoffman.
-Mr. Wood, Ms. Hoffman, Mr. Martinez, & Mr. Seymour

Still Need to Rent an Instrument?
Please let your band director know if you are having a difficult time reserving an instrument or if you are needing any help in the process.
(Oboe, Bassoon, Horn, Euphonium, and Tuba do not need to rent an instrument as these are school owned)
Band Parent Association: Volunteers NEEDED!
