Welcome to a new year of music at Centennial!
We encourage the music students to make this a very memorable and successful year. The activities we have
planned will offer you opportunities for musical development and leadership, and allow you to meet interesting
people and have fun with your friends!
Welcome to our new Grade 9 students and parents, and welcome back to our Grade 10, 11 and 12 students and
parents.

Please take the time now to read this information and return the acknowledgement page.
Sincerely,

A Message to Parents and students
Parents, in order to be successful, we need the help and support of our music parents so please plan to

Our four school performances are specifically for you. Please plan to attend.
We look forward to seeing you throughout the year.
Thank you,
Carole Baker and Malcolm Grier
Parents, please let us know what you are able to help out with.
Fundraising- Mr. Grier and Mrs. Baker will be looking for parents to coordinate fundraising. Ultimately, we would
like to see the fundraising completely initiated and executed by the music parent group.
Please contact us if there is another fundraiser you’re interested in organizing.
