Dear Parents, Students and Caregivers,

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding as we navigated the delayed start to the band this year. We truly appreciate your flexibility, and we are thrilled to share that rehearsals are now off to a great start! The students have already shown incredible enthusiasm, and we are excited to see how much they will grow over the coming months.

This week, our Training Band will begin using their instruments, and it's such an exciting milestone for them!

We still have places available in our Training Band, and if your child is interested in joining, we would love to welcome them! Please send the band an email at roseleaband@gmail.com.
