It is time for enrolment for students taking Grade 7 band!
Our band teacher this year is Mr. Ray Faoro. You can email him at ray.faoro@burnabyschools.ca if you have any questions or want to let him know something about your child.
If you want to get a loan for a free instrument, you can click here and fill in the application form for the Harmony For All program that is done through the city of Burnaby. Please let me know if you need a letter of recommendation for your child, and I will be happy to provide it. Sonja.karlson@burnabyschools.ca
At Armstrong, we encourage all of our grade seven students to take band. It is such a lucky opportunity the children are afforded in the Burnaby school district – to have this program, not as an add-on, but as part of the instructional time for these students. They build a connection to high school learning, get ahead in a high school elective, and can make an informed decisions when it comes to their high school choice electives. There are no down-sides to taking band in grade seven. The focus, team building and musical language acquisition is so good for these kids!
Here is the link to the band information form. You can fill it out online.
Thank you for filling this out as quickly as possible. It will help with our planning for the 2024-2025 school year.
