[BHS Etree]

Please do not reply to this email, contact berkeleyhighjazz at gmail.com with
questions.

Hello BHS Jazz Families--

Welcome to the 2023 - 24 school year, we are very excited to start playing
jazz together!

On Tuesday, 8/15 (the day before the first day of school) we have "Music
Orientation" from 12:30 - 2:30 p.m.

In the past this has meant that we need all families to come by and fill
out paperwork, but this year that is no longer the case as this year all
paperwork will be filled out by you at home.

This year, however,THE ONLY THING THAT WILL HAPPEN DURING "MUSIC
ORIENTATION" IS THAT WE WILL CHECK OUT INSTRUMENTS, CHECK IN INSTRUMENTS
THAT STUDENTS HAD OVER THE SUMMER, AND COLLECT MIDDLE SCHOOL INSTRUMENTS /
EXCHANGE THEM FOR HIGH SCHOOL ONES.

Therefore, the only people who have to come to orientation are folks who
will be checking out an instrument this year.

Drummers, pianists, guitar players, ... unless you need to check something
out, you are excused -- please don't come to orientation. Bassists, only
come if you will be checking out a school bass to keep at home for the year.

Horn players who will play on your own instruments all year -- please do
not come to orientation.

If you are a continuing or new horn player who plans to check out a BUSD
instrument for the 2023 - 24 school year, please come by orientation -- you
only need to stay for a few minutes.  Come by even if you already have the
instrument you plan to use for the coming year in your possession -- bring
the instrument with you (one exception -- bass players, you do not need to
drag that bass in, just take a pic of the 1700 number and bring that with
you).  If you have an instrument that you were using over the summer and do
not plan to continue using that instrument, you need to return it to us at
orientation (for example, if you are a bass player who wanted to try out a
saxophone over the summer, it is time to return that saxophone now).

Even if you think I already know the number of your instrument, please stop
by -- I promise you, I do not know it!  BRING ANY AND ALL BUSD INSTRUMENTS
YOU CURRENTLY HAVE AT YOUR HOUSE WITH YOU!

Entering freshmen, please bring your middle school BUSD instrument with you
and we will exchange that for a high school instrument.

We will spend these 2 hours getting you all squared away for the year.

Please bring $20 in CASH (CASH ONLY!!!) for every instrument you plan to
check out.  At this time, we can only check out ONE of each type of
instrument to you, but I could check out two different types of
instruments, for example, a sax and a flute, to those who will for sure use
those instruments in BHS jazz classes.

Cheers!
