The Band Hall will not open until 9:00am each morning. The ONLY exceptions for an earlier entry would be for a pre-arranged band sectional, rehearsal, or private lesson.
Students may wait in the Band Hall on Tuesday/Thursday before evening rehearsal, or daily for afternoon lessons. If students go anywhere else, they will be asked to leave the building - sorry, this is a school rule. Plan accordingly.
