Good morning! A few reminders

1. After school rehearsals start today! We will rehearse every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday and release at 5:00 PM. Rehearsal schedule may be adjusted throughout these first couple of months to accommodate for the days that we missed band camp.

2. Student must complete their dragonfly accounts. We worked on these during the first two days of school, but some may have one or two forms left so that the account is completely cleared.

3. STUDENTS! Instead of Microsoft Teams, we will be using a different platform called SportsYou. It has many of the same functions and does not run the risk of getting reset every year. Information to join the Columbus band sportsYou is posted below. Every student is required to join by computer or phone

Good morning, falcon band
Unfortunately, band camp will also be canceled for this week due to unforeseen circumstances with the building. We will, however, make adjustments to our practice schedule for the first two weeks of school to make up for camp. We will catch up and everything will be fine. Trust the band staff and the process. See you when school starts. Camp starts immediately at the beginning of the year.

Please do not direct any negativity towards district staff or administrative entities. Everyone worked really hard to try to make this happen. It’s just not feasible at this moment and our students will still be ready to perform and compete for this entire fall season.
