A Clean Band Room! Thank You!

Today was our band room clean-up day. We started at 10:00 a.m. and finished a little after 2:30 p.m. We had a great team of helpers including parents and students. The room itself was a disaster zone. I should have taken "before" pictures, but most of you saw the condition of the room. If you would have walked in around noon, you would have thought it was total chaos! It might have been a little confused chaos for a brief moment or two, but we all started pulling in the same direction and got it done! Everyone pitched in to pull everything away from the walls and we vacuumed every inch, nook and corner of the room. Shelves were dusted, music was alphabetized and filed and put away in the filing cabinet, the instrument cubbies were all individually cleaned, the trophies were dusted and rearranged, the windows were washed, chairs and music stands organized, and now the room is sparkling clean! What a great team of workers and I appreciate each of you that gave up your Saturday to pitch-in and help! Now, kids, you have to make the effort to keep the room clean!

Below are some pictures from today...

















We even organized the "lost and found" items and have a table out with items found, along with a box of clothes. The kids will have 3 days to reclaim any of their lost items and then they will disappear!



And now...the "after" pictures......
