Is your student interested in being in the school band next year?
Dear Firebird Families,
My name is Mrs. Stanford, I am the band teacher at Gavilan Peak! In 4th grade we have been exploring what instruments there are and trying them out. Please use this page to sign up for band next year.
https://www.bepartofthemusic.org/group/index.php?id=9318
In coming 5th/6th/7th and 8th graders may use this form to join band. If they are already in band they do not need to fill out any form.
Instrument rental night will be at GP on May 8th from 5-6pm, open house style in the gym, I hope to see you then!
Musically yours,
Mrs. Stanford
