• Parents of 6th Grade Students - you will receive a packet of information at Open House (Wednesday, August 20 5:00-7:00pm) that will answer many of your questions. If you can not be at the Open House, check the Home Page of the band site and you will be able to download all of the documents.
• Parents of 7th and 8th Grade Students, please make sure your child has everything he/she needs to start playing the second day of school:

• Virgo's SIXTH GRADE BAND will be using Essential Elements 2000 this year. I will send home order forms during the first or second week of school, or you may purchase it from a local music store. Just make sure you get the book for the CORRECT INSTRUMENT!
