Hello 5th Grade Band Families!
With lessons starting soon, it's important that instruments and materials are ordered as soon as possible so they have time to be delivered before we begin.
Follow the link, or use the QR code in the flyer to access the West Music website: https://rent.westmusic.com
Please reach out to Ms. Lyons with any questions, comments, or concerns.
We can't wait to get this new group of young musicians started!

We are excited for our first home football game this Friday, August 29th vs. Anamosa. Please review our Activities Expectations. Students 5th grade and younger are expected to sit with their family members (5th grade will continue to sit with their family even though they are in Middle School). In addition, once students enter they need to remain in Goodenow. Students will not be able to reenter the event if they leave, unless the are with an adult.

Thank You for your support as we work to make this a fun and safe event for everyone!
