Welcome!

Welcome back to another great year of band! Parents and students are invited to use this page to stay informed on upcoming events with our band program!


 * New This Year.....**

__My Name!!__ This summer, I had the great honour of marrying my best friend, Paul Harrison. I will now be going by Mrs. Harrison! Don't worry, it will be an adjustment for us all!

__Creighton Students:__ I bid the students from Creighton a fond farewell as I pass them off to Mrs. Jones! For the first time, the Creighton band program will be run in Creighton with Mrs. Jones. I have sincerely enjoyed my time working with these wonderful students and I look forward to collaborating in the future!

__Band Fees__ All instruments are supplied by the division for students in grade 6, 7 and 8 with no rental fee and no cost for supplies. We are very fortunate to have such strong support from our administration and parents and are pleased to be able to offer the band program to students free of charge. (__NOTE:__ The only exception to this is the cost of traveling to out-of-town events such as Parkland/NorMan Honour Band and the Level One Band Festival. Fundraising for these trips is done through the Flin Flon/Creighton Parents for Music Education)

__ Other Important Information __ I am working very hard this year to lessen our program's impact on the environment by using the least amount of paper possible. Therefore, I will NOT be sending copies of the band hand book home this year. You are welcome to refer to it at any time on this website. (please see the documents attached below)

The band handbook now also contains a more detailed course description for grade 7 and 8. Please read carefully!

Please feel free to contact me anytime if you have questions or concerns about the program or the wiki! I can be reached at ajardine@ffsd.mb.ca at anytime or (204) 687-7578 (McIsaac - afternoons) and (204) 687-7538 (Ruth Betts - mornings).

Sincerely,

Anna Harrison Director of Junior High Bands for the Flin Flon School Division
