It seems there was a mistake and the post about elementary instrument rental night didn't make it to social media. If you didn't know about it or were unable to attend, and your child (5th or 6th grade) is interested in participating in the elementary band, please have them see Mr. Bruno and he will give them a form that can be filled out. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call or send him and email.
