I would like to invite your child to become a member of the Crossler Area Fifth Grade Beginning Band. Crossler Area 5th Grade Beginning Band is open to all 5th grade students from Salem Heights, Liberty, Schirle and Sumpter Elementary Schools.  Band is a year-long class focused on how to play a woodwind, brass, or percussion instrument.

There will be a Band Start-Up Night on Thursday, September 22, 2022 at Crossler Middle School in the Gymnasium.  There will be two sessions at the Start-Up Night: the first from 5:00pm to7:00pm, and the second from 7:15pm to 9:00pm. You only need to attend one of the sessions.  There will be stations set up for your child to try-out the various band instruments; band directors will be available at each station to ensure that your child chooses an instrument that is right for him/her/they.  Representatives from Willamette Valley Music will be there to get you started with instrument rentals.  Please do not let financial concerns keep your child from participating in band.  There are many programs available to fit your needs.  We will be happy to tell you about them. 

Band students will be bused from their elementary school to Crossler MS five days a week for instruction.  Before departing for Crossler, students will be fed a snack at their elementary school.  The bus will pick up students from their elementary school around 2:45. Instruction at Crossler MS will begin by 3:15pm and conclude at 4:00pm.  Students may be picked up from Crossler MS at the end of the day or may be transported home on a Crossler MS Bus.  Crossler Area 5th Grade Beginning Band will begin on Monday, September 27, 2021.
