Hello all once again! This message is to inform you of the Startup Clinics on Thursday, September 21, 2023. Your student, as a new student to the music program, will be participating in these Startup Clinics with our high school student music mentors. The clinics are on campus, so no need for permission forms, and the clinics are also free, so no fees to worry about! Your student will need their instrument by that date. If your student does not yet have an instrument, you will need to rent one from Long & McQuade before Thursday for them to get the full value of those Startup Clinics. That may mean you travelling into the city of Calgary to make that happen, as Long & McQuade is not scheduled to visit NDC before our Startup Clinics. Long & McQuade Calgary is located at 225 58 Ave SE, Calgary, AB T2H 0N8. You can go to the Band Department and rent an instrument there. Please don't forget to get your student a care kit (and for clarinet players, reeds - orange Rico 2.5 reeds are perfect). You may also be able to call the store at (403) 244-5555 and order it (and the instrument care kit and reeds) over the phone. If you do so, please also indicate that Mr. Windsor from Notre Dame Collegiate in High River may be able to pick it up, and they will set it aside for me. However, I will only go into the city if there is something to pick up, so please tell me if you purchase something over the phone so I know there is something to get. I'm really looking forward to those Startup Clinics! We'll start making beautiful music much more quickly with the guidance of our high school music mentors. Contrapuntally yours,
