We have had a great first 2 weeks of school!  7th and 8th grade have been reviewing from last year and finishing their method books and sixth grade has learned 3 notes!   Make sure you have turned in your colored forms from your band packet.... still missing 17 kids.  Also your $125 band fee is due by Sept. 6 and we only have about 1/3 of the band that has turned this in.  This covers sheet music, Smart Music and Sight Reading Factory programs, Allwest and Solo and Ensemble entry fees, concert venue rentals, band t-shirt, instrument repairs and upkeep, etc......  

 

I'm sorry we had to postpone the pool party and then it ended up not doing anything :(. It has been rescheduled for Sunday Sept. 8 2 pm-5 pm - same place.

 

Orientation nights are this week - 7th/8th grade Monday at 6 pm and 6th grade Wednesday at 6 pm.  Hope to see you there!

Our after school help sessions start this week and are until 4:00.  Make sure you have a ride and picked up in the back parking lot.  You may bring a snack from home or $ for a snack from our concession stand.  7th and 8th grade woodwinds will meet Monday and 7th and 8th grade brass/percussion will meet Wednesday to get a head start on their Allwest music.  6th graders and those 7th/8th graders helping them will meet on Tuesday.  Hope to see you there!

 

If you are an 8th grader, you will need your Essential Elements book 3 by next week.  If you are a 7th grader you will need your Essential Elements book 2 in about 3 weeks.  

 

Here is the Remind Text information:

Remind Instructions for 2019-2020 School year for the Appling Band. I use this a LOT for reminders and last minute things that may not be checked by email but go straight to your phones.  Each grade level has their own code.  Later on, I will give out codes for honor and jazz band if you make those groups.

Text the following codes to 81010 or if you’re having trouble with that try (218) 264-0472.
