• Parents of 7th and 8th Grade Students, please make sure your child has everything he/she needs to start playing the second day of school:

• Virgo's SIXTH GRADE BAND will be using Essential Elements 2000 this year. I will send home order forms during the first or second week of school, or you may purchase it from a local music store. Just make sure you get the book for the CORRECT INSTRUMENT!
