Welcome to Mr. McGrogan's

6th, 7th & 8th Grade

Instrumental Music class!

The CAMS SOUTH Winter Band concert date is now Tuesday, January 29, 2019.  Please make a note of the change.  You should receive a Winter Band Concert information paper from your son or daughter.  

 

Welcome to the 2018-2019 CAMS South School Year!  Plese use this website as a resource for any information you may need to have a successful experience in the CAMS South Band.  I will update this site frequently as more information becomes available. 

Parents, please help your son or daughter remember when they have Band and Lessons.  All Band dates are listed below.  Lessons will be on the students schedule this year, so please keep track of which days your son or daughter has Lessons.  The most common reason for a student not succeeding in Band is forgetting when he or she needs to bring his or her instrument. 

A good rule of thumb is "If you are not sure if you need your instrument and music, bring it to school with you that day!", AKA "JUST BRING IT!!" (Our new CAMS Sount Band slogan!)

Please go to the "Resources" link on the left to find down-loadable documents for CAMS South Band.  I have posted the Lesson Schedules, Practice Log, CAMS Band Agreement Form and the Rules for Success that were distributed at our first Band meeting on Tuesday & Wednesday.  I will post more of these here as the band receives them throughout the school year. 

Also, be sure to check out the LINKS I have posted on my "Useful Links" page to be able to hear recordings of our band music. 

Please make a note of the following Concert Dates.  Please avoid planning other events that would conflict with these dates.
