New event added for Portsmouth West Middle School
Mr. Blevins just added a new event for Portsmouth West Middle School. Families and teachers will get reminders about "Beginner Band Parent Meeting" as the event approaches. Here are the details:
Beginner Band Parent Meeting
August 26, 2023
4:00 PM to 5:00 PM EDT
We're thrilled to kick off our beginner band program for the year!
If your student is joining band for the first time this year, we are hosting a mandatory parent meeting to help them get set up with an instrument. During this meeting, we will cover all the details on how to secure an instrument for your child and make sure we find the best possible instrument for everyone.
Please do not make any instrument purchases before the meeting without checking with me first. I want to ensure that you invest your money wisely in a quality instrument that meets our standards.
The meeting will take place in the Middle School Band Room at 4 pm this Saturday, August 26. If you haven't visited the band room before, you can find it directly across from the gym, on the side of the building closest to the elementary school. You can enter the building from either Door 2 or Door 5.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at aaron. blevins@westsenators. org. I look forward to seeing all of you there!
