All students that have turned in their Hawaiian Waters Money are to meet at Hawaiian Falls in The Colony at 5pm and picked up at 8pm. As mentioned on the flyer, there is no transportation provided. Once there, your student will be able to select from a hamburger, hotdog or vegetarian option dinner. Make sure to bring your swim suit and towel. No goggles or other swimming accessories are allowed in the park. With so many students attending from all 5 middle schools, please consider carpooling with other students to help with traffic.

Hawaiian Waters Chaperones
Parents who have already signed up to be a chaperone will receive an email with details. Thank you for volunteering your time!!
Practice Records and Objective Sheets
Students will begin receiving their practice records and objective sheets over the next week. Consistent daily practice is vital to the success of your student on their instrument. We use weekly objectives to help students reach individual and group goals. Our objectives are passed off in person during class, sectionals and some in google classroom. While only one or two objectives are due each week, students are more than welcome to work at their own pace and turn in objectives early. Practice records are due each Tuesday with a parent signature. Beginners will get their practice records and objective sheets soon.
Private Lessons – Sign-up Now!!
To see a list of all of our private lesson teacher’s and bios, please visit https://www.rogersband.com/private-lessons-1 . With over 300+ students in the Rogers Band Program, their studios fill quickly, so the sooner you can make contact the better to ensure your student’s spot.
We have a limited amount of financial aid for students throughout the school year. Parents will need to reapply each year to request consideration for private lesson financial aid, even if the student received financial aid from the previous year. We do this to help keep our records up to date and to ensure the need still remains. The application is available on the band website at www.rogersband.com/financial-aid-for-private-lessons . All completed applications should be sent directly to Mr. Ferman. If you have any questions about private

This is a great opportunity to meet other families and do something fun while supporting our Rogers and WGHS Bands.
Hello Rogers Band families!
Football season starts next week, and the Walnut Grove Band is looking for volunteers to work our concession stands. This is a great fundraiser for our program, but definitely requires a lot of help. Students may volunteer, but must be 13 or older.
