Hello 9th grade band students and parents,
Welcome to the Middleton High School band program! September is fast approaching, and we're so excited to start another year of making music together. Please take care of the following three items so that you're ready for the school year!
We will check off all materials on the first full day of class (Thursday, Sept. 1)
If you need financial assistance with any of these supplies, no problem! Please reach out to the band teachers, student services for your house (Antares, Capella, or Phoenix), or our school social worker Ms. Shapiro.
2. Lockers and School Instruments
All students need to fill out this form by the first day of school. It asks whether you need a band locker and/or a school instrument.
The cost to rent an instrument is $50, and the instrument is yours for the school year. Percussionists pay a $25 fee to use the instruments at school. All fees go directly into the band department's repair budget and are automatically waived if you qualify for free/reduced lunch.
The school rents mostly the largest instruments (think tubas and bassoons), but we also have a limited number of other instruments available primarily for students in need.
Click the link above for the full calendar of events, and also check out the information on our website.
For Cardinal Band, the required performances are:
November 16th, 7:30p -- Fall Concert
January 28th, daytime -- Solo & Ensemble Festival (alternate dates available)
March 16th, daytime -- Large Group Festival
May 9th, 7:30p -- Spring Concert
May 29th, 8:00-1:00 -- Memorial Day (make-up available if necessary)
If we haven't met already during marching band, we're looking forward to meeting you. Enjoy the remainder of your summer, and get ready for a fun and exciting year of music! Mike Ver Voort Doug Brown Eric Rothacker
