Playing Test & Pass Off Assignments - Did you know?
Did you know that students may replay all playing tests and pass offs as many times as they want to increase their grade? The end of the 2nd Six Week Marking Period is Friday, October 30th. If you child has a lower grade on a pass off or playing test they can:
Record themselves as home and email it to the band directors at: palmerbanddepartment@gmail.com
or
come in to open band before school between 8:15-9:00am and play for a director or for the director's ipad if they are busy
or
Schedule a time after school to meet with a director to replay tests.
We want your students to be successful, so please let us help!

Band Uniforms
The new band uniforms will be distributed to all 7th & 8th grade students next week. The uniform pants and skirts all come not hemmed and very long. This is on purpose because your child will grow significantly between the fall of 7th grade and spring of their 8th grade year. We will be providing hem tape to everyone to help you adjust the length. The hem tape can be ironed in requiring zero sewing skills :)
Instructions about how to hem and how to use the hem tape will be included with the uniform.
All students who are borrowing a uniform will be given a uniform loan agreement that will need to be filled out and returned to the band directors. We would like to distribute all of these uniforms by the end of next week as well. Please ask your child about the uniform contract.
