Mr. Graciano

• Students will not need their instruments the first day of school.

• Students that need to check out school instruments can do that on Sept. 1st from 9-11am in the band room. Or on Friday Sept. 4th during school and after until 3 pm.

• All students (especially 7th graders) should read the band handbook online under the "Documents" section and begin purchasing all the things (Books, reeds, oils, etc) that you will need for band.
• We are going to have a work party here in the band room on Sept 3rd for all band students, so keep looking here for details on that!

Hope you had a great summer! See you soon! -Mr. G
