The 2017-2018 school year

8/5/2017

I hope you've been enjoying your summer so far!  We have one month until we start the new school year, and I couldn't be more excited. 

There are always questions regarding beginning of year logistics, and I hope the following helps answer your questions.

Q:  Do we need our instruments the first day of class?

A:  7th and 8th graders do!  They also need everything found on our Band supply list page. 

Q:  What about 6th graders?  What do we need?

A:  6th graders will need to bring themselves and a pencil to the first day of class.  That's it!  We'll be going over instrument demonstrations, instrument tryouts, and placing students on instruments.  This process takes a few days.  We have a drop-in Instrument Rental Night on September 14th from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the Skyridge cafeteria.  There, you'll be able to rent an instrument and get all the needed supplies to get started.  It's not a required event:  families are welcome to rent an instrument where ever they wish, but I hope you find this convenient for your busy schedule!  It's a drop-in event, so you won't need to stay there the entire time. 

Q:  What if I rented an instrument from the school last year?

A:  Easy!  We'll take care of all that paperwork when we get to school, just come see Mr. Sanchez.  For newcomers to Skyridge:  we rent large instruments from the school (tuba, baritone/euphonium, tenor sax, bari sax, bass clarinet, etc.) as these tend to be a bit more difficult to rent from local music stores due to limited stock.

That about does it!  This is going to be a great year at Skyridge, and I'm glad you're going to be a part of it.
