HYBRID LEARNING
We are excited to have students in-person for 5 days a week starting Wednesday. With the size of our groups being greater than the band room will allow for distancing measures, we will have class in the auditorium. Students may bring their instrument to the auditorium in the morning. We will talk about procedures during their class period. 2nd Percussion will still meet in the band room. DON’T FORGET YOUR MASKS AND BELL COVERS IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE.
Remote learners will continue to follow along via Zoom.
