September!

Welcome to September!

We have had a great start this year!  Walker has a record number of students enrolled and attending band classes this year.  Our advanced students have already had one performance and will perform again next Tuesday night at the Fall Band Parent Meeting.  Click on "Calendar" at the right to see the details.

Important for Beginners

• Beginning students are being evaluated for instrument placement at this time.  They will learn their assignment by September 14 and instruments will be checked out to students who have turned in their instrument forms and fee.  Beginners will not be bringing their instruments home at first.  They will have to demonstrate to a director that they can produce a characteristic sound on three notes before they can begin bringing the instrument home for practice.

Important for Advanced Students

• Advanced students will be performing Tuesday at the Band Parent Meeting. 
• All advanced students should be bringing their instrument home every evening, practicing their assignments and entering their practice time in Charms

Important for all band students

• Extra Credit if you bring one or more parents to the meeting Tuesday night.
• Extra Credit for bringing a case of water for the band supply
• Bring a Lock for your lockers.  Please give the directors your combination and enter that combination in your Charms profile
• All forms and fees are due at this time.  Your student was given a handbook containing registration and instrument forms.
• All students have access to Charms now!  Click on "Charms Log In" at the right and use your student ID# for the password.  Please update your profile and add parent information.
