Mr. Mann invites all interested 5th-grade students and their families to our official Elementary Band Sign-Up Night on Thursday, August 24, beginning at 5:30 pm in the Williams Elementary Cafeteria. While a packet of information will be sent home to interested students, we will use the meeting to discuss the band program and class benefits/expectations, view a presentation by The Music Shoppe regarding instrument rentals and their services, and officially sign your student up for band class. If you have any questions or are unable to attend the meeting but wish to sign your student up for band, please reach out to Mr. Mann at alekmann@mcusd2.com.
