The Beginning Band lesson schedule is now posted, and copies are with 5th and 6th grade homeroom teachers. Mr. Mehaffey also has them outside the band room. Lessons will be starting Monday morning and afternoon.

Beginning Band flutes will be having their first lesson on Monday morning for the students in A Win time, and Monday afternoon for students in B Win time.
