Parents and Students, enjoy your breaks this summer, but please stay in touch with your teams, groups and sections. Lots of work goes on over the summer as we get better and get ready for a competitive marching season. Please watch your emails, texts, REMINDs, and GroupMe messages for important information. Subsectionals are already going on for some instrument groups and Guard Rehearsals start next week. Our student leaders are relentless in their desire to make us the best we can be. Let’s support them in every way we can.

FROM THE PODIUM

The month of May is a time when many families begin to look toward the upcoming school year and the rewards and challenges it will bring. As you consider your child’s future, we want to share a few thoughts about continuing in music.

Music provides a safe place
Change can be challenging, and the transition to high school can be daunting for any student. Continued participation in music can give your child a foothold in a safe, secure place from which to explore this new experience. Music can be the anchor that holds them steady among the waves of change coming their way.

Music provides new experiences
But why just do the same thing? Shouldn’t they explore new things? Make no mistake: continuing to study music will be an evolution, opening new vistas in their growth as a young musician. Your child will have opportunities to apply their musical knowledge and skills in new ways, and to deepen their understanding in a broad range of opportunities to match their interests.

Music provides good role models
We all know the impact peer pressure can have on a student. It can lead your child to make decisions that they might not otherwise make. Everything we know about participation in music says that students involved in music are more successful in every possible way, academically, personally, and socially. By participating in music, you are providing your child with the type of role models that will reinforce good decision making.

Participate their way
The great thing about being a musician in is the high degree of choice in how your child participates. Music can be “the” thing, or “a” thing. As they grow and change, so can their choice. We will always work with your child to find the right balance all while reaping the benefits of studying music.

Navigating this year has been tricky at best, and at times we all found it overwhelming. But, we are getting close to our new-normal and we want to ensure that music is a part of this for your child.


Please know we are invested in your child’s welfare, and welcome the opportunity to provide assistance for you and your child in the transition. Please feel free to reach out at any point in the process.

Sincerely,

Your Union Bands Faculty
