Welcome to the Sneed Middle School Bands newsletter. The newsletter contains important announcements, dates, and much more. This way you can stay connected to your child's busy band life!

Our Band Newsletter is sent through the Band App and the band web page.

The mission of this organization shall be to support the activities of and promote interest in the Sneed Middle School Band program, as well as to render financial support. The endeavors of this organization include, but are not limited to, assisting in fundraising for band trips as well as other financial needs not currently met through the school and/or district budget; to assist in creating and maintaining a positive public image by promoting the band within the community whenever possible; to lend personal support to the band members and the director by attendance at band performances. The group shall operate within the laws of a true non-profit organization in that no part of its earnings shall be used to the benefit any one individual. All financial distributions shall be made for the furtherance of one or more of the purposes above.

Students who play instruments that require reeds should have 5 good reeds with them at all times. If your student is running low on reeds, please bring in $3 or pay via Cash App at $SneedBand. With the amount of air I have our students putting through the instrument, they should be going through one reed per week.

Good reeds = good sounds!
