​Hello Band Parents –
Yesterday we kicked off our Cherrydale virtual fundraiser and I wanted to reach out with some simple instructions. Your student created an account with their personal email and a password of their choice. Go to www.shopfund.com and log into your students account and then click on Parents and Sellers. In the yellow box on the left, you will be able to easily share the fundraiser through email, Facebook, and several other social media outlets. The fundraiser is contactless, virtual, and all items purchased will be shipped directly to our supporters.
Please contact me if you have any questions or need additional help.
Thank you for your support!

We are about to start our master class series. This is a way for our students to get instrument-specific information from professionals who teach and/or perform on their primary instrument. We have had lots of success with growth in our students through these master classes. ​

For eight weeks starting the week of November 16, each instrument will have one day when our master class instructor will go into our class meeting and work with our students in a small group. Some of our students are on campus for class and others are virtual. Our master class teachers will be virtual and will work with both virtual and face-to-face students.
