Please put these important dates on your personal calendar!


Welcome Beginning Band Students!

We are excited to have you in the Johnson Band Program!  During the next week, we will be allowing your student to try all the instruments, and we will be helping them to make the decision about what instrument they will be playing in the coming year.  We will send home instrument rental information and flyers for our local music store on Thursday, August 19th, and students are encouraged to have their instrument in class on Monday, August 23rd to begin playing.  Please contact Mrs. Singletary at singletary.laura@brevardschools.org if you have questions or concerns about the instrument testing process.  

Click HERE for the first-day letter that was given to students in class on Monday, August 9 detailing the instrument testing and rental process.
