    WELCOME TO THE 2017 - 2018

    SOUTH SHORES SUPERSTARS BAND WEBPAGE

    Beginners are signing up RIGHT NOW.  
    There is one informational page (HERE), and the "Join Band" form (here).
    To ensure success,
    ENCOURAGE DAILY PRACTICE!!
    Playing a musical instrument is a very physical (& mental) process.
    If the student is not practicing REGULARLY, there's a good chance
    the student will not experience success, and will not enjoy what should be
    a motivating and exciting experience.
    Practicing IS homework, and it MUST be regular.
    Any loaner instrument issued is the student's and
    parent/guardian's responsibility. Please do not let ANYONE
    play with, or touch the loaner instrument other than the student to which it has been issued.
    The students are given specific instructions on how to handle their instrument
    and are told NOT TO LET ANYONE ELSE TOUCH IT.
    Please follow these simple instructions.
    ALL STUDENTS NEED TO PURCHASE THEIR OWN BOOK (Essential Elements).
    **PLEASE NOTE:  DPS Foundation does NOT have percussion instruments for rent.  If percussion is the desired instrument,
    you must rent the snare/bell kit from a music store.**
    Any questions or concerns, please email Mrs. Walczyk:
    EXCELLENT JOB ON THE  2016 - 2017
    SCHOOL YEAR!!
