Dear Members and Parents,

 

            The above dates and times are TENTATIVE for the coming school year.  Every effort should be made to block these dates and participate in each and every event that is required for each ensemble with which you are associated.  Work is never a valid reason for absence and it is the responsibility of the student to see that his/her employer is informed of these dates.  Trip dates do not appear on this schedule due to the nature of travel within the organization.  If there are any questions about this schedule, its contents, or the James Wood Band Grading Policy or the Assessment Policy set forth by the Frederick County Board of education, please feel free to give me a call at the James Wood High School Band Office at 662-3774.  Thank you for your time and cooperation.
