On Thursday, March 17th, members of the 6th Grade Concert & Jazz Bands will meet at Spofford at 6:50am and travel by bus to Boston to tour and perform at the historic Massachusetts State House. Upon our arrival, Senator Bruce Tarr and State Senator Lenny Mirra will lead the group in a personalized and interactive tour of the Senate and House of Representatives chambers. Following the tour, the bands will perform a 45 minute concert at the base of the Grand Staircase from 10:30 -11:15am. After performing, the students will head to Fuddruckers in Saugus for a well deserved lunch. They will return to Spofford at about 2:00pm.

All 5th & 6th Grade Band members must wear a Spofford Band shirt and khaki pants to our outdoor springtime performances. The 6th Grade Jazz Band will also wear them to its Jazz Concert at Cole School. An explanatory letter and an order form were emailed to parents at the beginning of February. Sample shirts will be available before the start of any band rehearsal until March 7th so you can choose the correct size for your child. Please visit the Spofford Band website to download a copy of the order form. Orders must be received by Mrs. Monty later than March 8th.
Thank you for your support of our Skida Hats fundraiser. Through a lot of hard work by Band Parent Co-Coordinators Mrs. Leah Dillon and Mrs. Karla DiDonato, a total of 144 Skida hats and 42 headbands were purchased resulting in a net profit of $1750.00. Some of this money has been used to purchase a new drum coffin, maracas and claves for the Band and pay for 5th & 6th Grade Band members' tickets to the June 12th Pawsox performance/game. The remaining funds will go toward food for guests attending the Senior Citizens' Concert/Luncheon and a future purchase of a new keyboard.
Lots of Band events are on our calendar for the next few months! Please add the following dates to your calendar and visit the updated Band website.
