Hi Parents,

We would like to let you know when our open house dates! Your children who are 9 years old or older and are interested in learning to play a beginner band instrument

(Flute, Alto Sax, Trumpet, Trombone, Clarinet or Bell Kit/percussion) can come by to meet Mr. Sommer the director and try out these instruments. They will learn to play these instruments in
class once a week.

If your child has been playing an instrument and would still like to drop by to meet Mr. Sommer you all can come by as well. Auditions are performed if trying out for advanced strings or full honor orchestras.

The open house will be at our home 3303 Sunlight Hill Lane Spring, TX 77386

Please contact me to set up an appointment!

Thursday July 31, Thursday August 7 or another date that would work..

We are looking forward to meeting you all soon!
