Danville MS Wolf Band

Greetings!

Our 8th grade band members had a fun time hanging out with the DHS Band at the Comal County Fair Parade on Friday! It's always a treat when HS and MS Bands can come together for an event. As much fun as performing is, I'm pretty sure their favorite part was the pizza party after parade. Thanks to kids and parents for making it all happen!

Our next big event is our Fall Concert on October 19th. That's a few short weeks away. All DMS Band students are involved in our Fall Concert. It'll be our Beginning Band's first public performance; so exciting! An event schedule with arrival times and performance times will be shared soon.

In this edition of the TWIB:

• Bandmaster's Message
• This Week in Band
• Upcoming Events
• Forms
• Recurring Information

Thanks for being a part of the DMS Wolf Band!

"I would teach children music, physics, and philosophy; but most importantly music, for the patterns in music and all the arts are the keys to learning."

• Handbook and Participation Receipt
• Band Fee and Donation Form
• Private Lesson Interest Form
• Extracurricular Agreement

• NEW this year: Band shirts will be provided this year using funds received as part of each student's band fee. Please ensure your student paid their band fee in order to receive their required band shirt. This shirt will be worn for events, performances, field trips, etc.

Reminder...The Band Hall is open every morning for students to come practice. We frequently have organized practices/rehearsals, however, at least one of our band rooms is open for students to practice as needed. Students should be practicing their instrument daily, whether at home or during tutorials time. This should add up to at least 100 minutes of practicing per week. This is necessary for your student to continue to improve and progress appropriately through the curriculum.
