6th GRADE BAND/CHOIR/STRINGS TOUR This Friday, May 24th we will be making a special trip to SPE and PSE to perform for their students! We will leave at 8:15am and return right around 11am. We will have a pizza party back at PSMS when we return. We definitely could use some more 6th grade parents to help out with hauling equipment and instruments! Please let me know if you are willing to help us out!
8th GRADE UNIFORMS All 8th Grade vests and bow ties must be dry-cleaned and returned to school in their dry clean packaging (including the receipt on the bag and tags on the garments) not later than Friday May 24th.
INSTRUMENT REPAIRS & CLEANING Summer break is a great time to have your child's instrument inspected and serviced by a professional instrument repair technician! Repair technicians can also do a professional 'deep cleaning' of your students' instrument as well. Instrument maintenance is very important to the longevity and the proper functioning of a musical instrument - kind of like a car; you take care of it and it will take care of you. There are several reputable repair services in the area - Meyer Music, Olathe Band Instrument, B.A.C. Horn Doctor, Dr. Note (Harold Steinhardt). Make plans early on this summer to have your instrument(s) looked over and serviced so it is 'ready to go' next school year. Repair technicians get SWAMPED right before the school year starts - so plan accordingly.
SUMMER CAMPS Parents, it's not too early to start thinking about summer music programs / camps that are available for your child. I will be listing them here as I get information about them:
