About: This club is being offered to Blazer Band students, as an optional second band practice each week. However, if your child choses to participate in chorus during the school day, they may still be able to participate in the after-school band club. There are two ways this is possible. The first, is if you can provide your child with their own instruments. The second, is if I still have unassigned instruments after the Blazer Band is formed during the school day (this situation may be more unlikely, as band has grown in popularity).
