Welcome to Holly Ridge Middle School and the 2008-2009 school year. I hope you had a great break and are ready to start playing again or embark on learning a new instrument.

Holly Ridge's Instrumental Program is excellent and I'm excited that you are going to be part of it!

Parents, your child's progress is very important to me. Encouragement and communication are essential to your child's success as an instrumentalist. Please feel free to contact me at school (main office:577.1335, or band office:577.1375) or send a note to discuss any of your concerns or questions.

In this website are procedures, guidelines, concert information and dates, grading system and materials required. This needs to be looked at very carefully so that you are aware of the expectations for participation in instrumental music. Please print, sign and return the forms listed on the forms page by Friday, August 29th, 2008. I must have these forms on file for all band students.

Please stop by the band room so that we can get to know one another. Thank you for your interest, support and dedication to the Holly Ridge Middle School Instrumental Music Program! I look forward to working with your student.

Sincerely,

Kathern Caves
Director of Instrumental Music
