Welcome to the 2020-2021 School Year! I hope the start of the school year has been treating everyone well.
Some updates to give to everyone... We will start playing as soon as our Instrument bell covers / PPE arrives from the company. All-State and All-County festivals for this school year are CANCELLED Please fill out the Maintenance Fee and Instrument Request form as soon as possible so that we can get instruments out to students. All student information is listed in the Google Classroom. Due to hacking attempts nationwide, I will NOT be posting the codes on the website. Please know that currently, students are required by NYSED to play 12' apart (wind and brass) and percussion 6', as a result we are pleased to welcome Ms. Smith to our band program this year. She will be helping our overflow room during periods where the large ensemble cannot meet. We look forward to a great school year!
