A few posts incoming! Today we honored our nation’s fallen soldiers by representing our school district in the Memorial Day Parade. All 7th-12th grade band students combined in one mass 140-piece band.

Today was one of our favorite annual events: instrument fittings for next year’s 5th grade students.

Current 4th graders had a chance to try all the band and orchestra instruments. Then they met with directors to choose their favorite! Ask your child about what they played and make sure you see the note we sent home.

Exciting change for next year: 5th grade band and orchestra will be DURING the school day (not before).

Sign-ups will take place next Wednesday, May 27 at 6pm at North Shore Elementary. Meyer Music will be on hand to discuss instrument rentals and purchases.

Thank you to Meyer Music for assisting our fittings today with instruments and several fitting specialists.

We can’t wait to welcome our new musicians!

Today was a huge day for South Haven Bands! We met in a large 7th-12th grade group (nearly 140 students!) and marched through the streets of South Haven in preparation for the upcoming Memorial Day Parade where we will represent our school district for the community.

Find your favorite band student in these photos! More photos of the high school after the middle school headed back to Baseline yet to come!

After we enjoyed popsicles together outside the Administration Building, the middle school band students went back to school. The high school students continued on and had a cookout and got some time to play at Kid’s Corner park. We also honored each of our seniors individually. It’s always one of our favorite days of the year and wouldn’t be possible without our incredible parent support. Thank you!!

Today was the seniors last day. Yesterday was their last day of band class. We did our traditional last “classroom” march and took time to celebrate each of our graduates.

Help us say thank you and best wishes on a bright future to all these wonderful people. We will miss them with all of our heart but are so proud of all of their achievements!

Congratulations, Class of 2026!
