Hello Sixth Grade Parents!

We hope this email finds you well. We have had a wonderful time getting to know all of the sixth-graders these past couple of weeks. They have had the opportunity to learn about what the Choir does and how the Band works. We’ve had a lot of fun! And the Orchestra is well underway learning music for its upcoming concert!

Today (Thursday, September 8) was the last day of the Band/Choir trial rotation. On Monday, Choir will begin rehearsals and Band will begin instrument fittings. Anyone choosing “Band” or “Undecided” will do fittings. We will sit with each student, one-on-one, to make sure he/she gets the best possible fit and is set up for success.

Please fill out this ELECTIVE FORM as soon as possible so we have time to get organized for Monday’s classes. We ask that every sixth grade family complete this form, even if you’re already in orchestra.

If there are financial concerns, please email Middle School Head Shaka Arnold at sarnold@columbusacademy.org.

As always, feel free to reach out if you have any questions,
