Main Event- Friday, January 17th

Tickets to the Main Event Social will be $15 and will include a $10 game card, 1 hour time card for arcade games, pizza, a drink, and unlimited access to bowling, laser tag, gravity ropes, billiards, shuffleboard, and mini-golf. Transportation will not be provided, so students will need to be dropped off at 4:30 and will need to be picked up by 7:30. Please see the attached guidelines list for more information.
Tickets for the event can be purchased on the Cheddar Up Online Store. Refunds will not be available for absent students, but they may use the purchased game card at any other point in time. This offer is for Pearson Band members only. Tickets must be purchased by Monday, January 13th at 11:59 PM. Â
We still need one more chaperone! If you are available and willing to chaperone, please sign-up at this link.
We are so excited to have this fun event with our band family!
Instrument Petting Zoo- January 18th
Saturday, January 18th is the Pearson Band Instrument Petting Zoo. At this event, 5th grade students will have the opportunity to try all the band instruments and see what they are interested in playing next year. This is one of our most important events of the year because it determines the future of the Pearson Band! Since there are so many moving pieces, we will need parent volunteers to help run our event!Â
Parents, please sign up to volunteer HERE.Â
If you know a family of a 5th grader that is interested in attending the event to try instruments, please tell them to go to www.pearsonband.com/future-members for more information and to sign up!
Daily Practice
All Beginning Band students should be taking their instrument home and practicing daily. During their practice time, students should play and reinforce concepts being taught in class and work on any material they are struggling to play. A daily practice habit is essential to becoming a great musician! Please help your student to build this habit by encouraging (and sometimes telling) them to practice every day.
Parents, the following is a fantastic guide for what and how your student should be practicing: https://practicingguide.weebly.com/Â
