Band and Orchestra
5th and 6th graders, it’s time to signup for band! In this linked google document, you will find a band information sheet that will hopefully answer a lot of questions you might have about joining 5th/6th grade band. Once you have looked through the information, please fill out the band registration form. Once you have filled out the registration form, I will assign your child’s band lesson time.
Here are the two forms again:

It’s time to sign up for Orchestra! If you are a 4th grade student or higher and you are interested in learning how to play one of the stringed instruments then this for you! Choices in the elementary school are violin, viola, or cello. The only cost is your instrument rental fee and purchasing a music book/accessories. Students will meet weekly for a lesson during the school day. Feel free to email me with any questions regarding orchestra! I look forward to making music with you soon! – Mrs. Blubaugh blubaughg@davenportschools.org
Colder weather tips. Once the weather gets cold, it really is dangerous for your instruments (especially for the wood) to be exposed to the temperatures for very long. (Never leave your instruments in the car or outside. The cold weather can damage your instrument and this can lead to costly repairs and time away from playing. Also, keep it away from direct heat and water. )
