FMS band sessions upcoming

The Fairfield Middle School summer concert band sessions begin Monday and continue through Aug. 3.

The sessions will be held in Fairfield High School commons. Students should use the northeast door to enter.

Times are:

? Sixth-grade band, for incoming sixth-grade band students, rehearses from 8-9:15 a.m. each weekday.

? Combined incoming seventh- and eighth-grade band rehearse from 9:45-11 a.m.

Students will be working on music equivalent to one full semester of school band curriculum. Opportunities are available for small group instruction and individual attention, so the session serves as both remedial and advanced instruction.

Students can still register, if they did not do so prior to the end of last school year. Registration forms will be available the first day of camp, and fees can be paid to Fairfield Band Aides. Cost is $40 for the two-week session.

Students participating should bring their instruments, a pencil and necessary reeds, oil or grease.

Sixth-grade students should bring their red Standard of Excellence books from last year as well.
