BAND FINAL EXAM
The study guide for the 2nd semester final has been distributed to students. We do our final much different than other classes, as students are being tested on their concert music, we test them much earlier than the finals dates. The concert music portion of the final will be due on May 14th and the sight-reading will be due on May 23rd. The final is optional for seniors.

QUINLAN AND FABISH (INSTRUMENT EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES)
We have a district preferred retailer, Quinlan and Fabish, to help the needs of our students with their instruments and accessories. You may order through them and they will hand deliver items to us at our school. Also, instrument repair is highly suggested to go through Q&F. You may visit one of their locations (closest is on Rt. 30 in Montgomery), visit their website (www.qandf.com), or pick up a flyer in the band room.
