Upcoming 7th Grade Students,
We hope this letter finds you and your family doing well! With the current circumstances, we felt this would be the best way to contact everyone. Please read all information and respond accordingly. The Aggie Band wants you! We are not able to share this information with you in person like we normally do, but we hope to answer as many questions as possible through this letter. Next year in the Aggie Band you have the opportunity to join us and enjoy the following benefits:
Learn to play a musical instrument! Learn to read and make music!
Create lifelong friendships! Travel to awesome destinations!
Have fun!
The instruments that are available in beginning band are:
Woodwinds - Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone
Brass - Trumpet, Trombone, Tuba
Percussion (must tryout for a spot)
Enclosed in the letter you will receive in the mail is a self addressed and postage paid postcard. We need all prospective members to fill out the postcard with the requested information (even if you have returned a form to Evans)
Instrument Selection is going to be slightly different this year based on our current circumstances. All students must circle their top choice from the following instruments:
Flute Clarinet Saxophone Trumpet Trombone Tuba
All students will be placed into a class based off of their top choice. Changes can be made should a student need to make a different instrument selection based off of the director’s recommendation.
Percussion Selection will also be different this year. If a student is interested in Percussion (Snare Drum and Mallets) you must select your top choice from the instruments listed above and check the appropriate box on the return postcard that you are interested in Percussion. At the beginning of the school year all students interested in percussion will be evaluated and notified if they earned a percussion spot. If they earn a spot then they will be placed into the Percussion class.
Once school begins, we will have a parent information meeting as well as an Instrument Sale. DO NOT purchase an instrument until instructed to do so by the band directors.
