Band Family Picnic
Thursday, August 28 is our annual Band Family Picnic from 6:00 PM-8:00 PM at Frisco Commons Park (8000 McKinney Rd, Frisco, TX 75034). We will be serving pizza and drinks at the pavilion. This event is open to all family members!
Tickets are $6 per person, and that covers the pizza, drinks, and pavilion rental. CLICK HERE to purchase tickets online. Tickets can also be purchased by cash (exact change only) or check (made out to the Pearson Band Parent Association) and turned into the Booster Box in the band hall at school. Please seal any cash or checks in an envelope with your student's name, the purpose of the money (Family Picnic) and how many tickets you are purchasing labeled on the outside. Tickets must be purchased by Tuesday August 26 at 8 AM so that we can put in the order for the pizza.
After school social events are never required for members of the band, but they sure are fun!
We will be in need of several volunteers for this event- CLICK HERE to sign up.
Private Lessons
We highly recommend all students in Beginner Band sign up for private lessons. Private lessons are a great way to progress on your instrument with the assistance of a master teacher who plays that same instrument. While tutoring in a core class might only be to catch up or erase deficits in the learning process, private lessons are for everyone. Typically, the top musicians in the band program are ones that are in private lessons! Lessons are $25 per lesson and payment is handled between the parents and the lesson teacher. Scholarships from our Band Parent Association (Band Boosters) are available to those who need.
This is the time to sign up. Our teachers are in high demand and teach across several different campuses and districts. Lesson times are first come first serve, so sign up ASAP. You can sign up by reaching out to the lesson teachers directly via email, which can be found at our website HERE. You can also email Ms. Jobe at jobel@friscoisd.org
