6th Grade Band Parents, attached is the Eckroth flyer for rental night! Please scan the QR code or follow the URL to sign up. I encourage all students who want to play Flute, Oboe, Alto Sax, Trumpet, Trombone, or Percussion to rent-to-own from Eckroth. I have a very limited number of school instruments to rent out. If an Eckroth rental would cause financial hardship, please reach out, and we will get you taken care of. If your student already has an instrument, please feel free to disregard this message. -Mr. Croft
All 7th and 8th grade band students, please bring your instruments on Monday!-Mr. Croft
The bus will depart FBMS at 6:15 PM, CHS at 6:30 PM, and BIA at approximately 6:55 PM
