Parents:
I am very excited to have your child in the MacArthur Band Program. This year's beginning band class looks to be and excellent group and all are looking forward to learning to play a musical instrument. I am also very excited to see all of my 8th and 9th graders returning this year.
There are many ways music can help your child. In addition to learning music and how to play a musical instrument, the music program teaches teamwork, perseverance, self-discipline and self-esteem. Statistics show that young people who participate in music rank high in academics. The school and community activities of the band give your child a most worthwhile leisure activity.
All band classes are during school hours. Students who plan to be involved in other school activities can still participate in and benefit from band activities.
I am looking forward to working with your child. Please feel free to call or e-mail me if I can be of assistance.
Musically yours,
Brenda Harbison
Director of Bands
