(From Music Teacher Tom Cheek)
This letter is concerning 5th grade band. Students who
wish to sign up for band only need to email me at tomdcheek@gmail.com
and let me know of your intention to join band for next year. I will put
you on the list.
In the fall you will need to pay a fee of $100 for the entire year. If
this is a hardship please let me know. The band fees go towards paying
clinicians, sheet music, supplies, and shirts and hats for the Rose
Festival Parade. I have clinicians come in on a
regular basis to provide students instruction in small groups of like
instruments. This fee for band is a great deal compared to the price of
MUSE (about $500 a year, not including instrument rental).
Students will need to rent or own their own instruments. I have
percussion and drums, and two bass amps. I also have some district
instruments such as flutes, clarinets, trombones and trumpets available
for free and reduced lunch students.
The instrumentation in band is trumpets, trombones, alto saxophones,
tenor saxophones, clarinets, flutes, electric bass and drums and
percussion.
Band meets at 3:00 to 3:35 Tuesday through Friday.
Band members need to make at least three rehearsals a week. If your
child is on Safety Patrol it would be preferable if he/she did that in
the morning.
I look forward to another exciting year of band. This year we will march
in the Junior Rose Festival Parade which is always a great experience.
Feel free to contact me with any questions.
Tom Cheek
Band Director at Alameda Elementary School
