    ................................................................
All students in the band from grades 5-8 are asked to put their band music in a looseleaf binder with (optional) protective sheets for each song. I am also asking that each binder have a Zipper Ring Binder Pocket, 8 x 10 1/2.  I wish to have all students keep pencils, erasers and any other accessories in these binder pockets. No folders will be provided this year. 
................................................................
                      Lesson Requirement
Band students are reminded to check in with their classroom teacher BEFORE coming to lessons.  You will not be marked as late - but you must tell your teacher where you are going!
