GRADE 7 & 8

MUSIC SELECTION

March, 2003

Dear McGee Parent/Guardian,

Please complete the attached form in order to aid us in completing your child’s schedule for the 2003-2004 school year.  All students participate in our music program.  There are three music class offerings from which to choose – General Music, Vocal Music, or Band Class (see descriptions attached).  You and your child need to select a music class for the next school year.  Students participating in Band Class can also elect to participate in the performing chorus one day a week during Period H, our Directed Study Period.

In order to provide a more comprehensive music and band program next year, a student with their parent’s permission, will only be allowed to make changes in their choice of music class up to October 1, 2003.  After this date students must remain in their elected music course for the remainder of the year. 

Please note that your child will be enrolled in General Music if this form is not returned by Friday, March 28, 2003.

Sincerely,

McGee Music Department
