Dear Parent/Guardian:

Your child will be participating in our Roseville Area Schools 5th Grade District Band Festival in May. This is a band of approximately 240 students from all eight of our elementary schools. Preparing for this concert is highly motivating to students and serves as a performance benchmark for our first year players.

This year, the District Band Festival rehearsals will be held at Edgerton Elementary School on May 2 & 5.  The evening performance will be held at Roseville Area High School in the lower gym on Tuesday, May 6.  

Attendance at all rehearsals and the concert is required. Any exceptions must be arranged through the child’s band director prior to the rehearsals. Parents/Guardians do have some transportation responsibilities. Consider carpooling to ease parking lot congestion. Contact your band director if you are having difficulty arranging transportation.

Because we only have two rehearsals, it is necessary that your child know the music before the first rehearsal.  The music selected represents a level of skill that all 5th graders should be able to achieve by the end of their first year of playing.

Please complete complete this form no later than Thursday, April 17th.

Sincerely,

Elementary Band Directors
