5th Grade Instrument fitting will take place at HMS from 4-7pm.


5th Grade Instrument Fitting-April 22nd, 4-7pm
Sessions are held in the gym and are “come-and-go” style. All future band students need
to come to instrument fittings as not every person can make a sound on every instrument!
We need to help you find the instrument that fits you best and create a balanced band so
we sound good!
Your student needs to complete this process before beginning band class. If your student
did not register for band class but would like to join, he/she may do so at this event.

Holgate Band instrument fitting will take place April 22nd from 4-7pm for all incoming HMS 6th graders. The session is "come & go." All future band students need to come to fittings and see which instrument fits them. Not all students can make sounds on all instruments. This process MUST be completed before your student can join band. Please contact Mrs. Weischedel with questions sara.weischedel@k12.sd.us


As a culminating activity for a story read in Mrs. Geyer's 7th-grade ELA and a community service field trip, students visited Avera Mother Joseph, Derian Place, and Bethesda to enjoy conversation with the residents. The kids were great & the residents loved having them visit.











Today Holgate band students performed for guest clinician, Mr. Darcy Brandenburg, from the Fargo School District. Mr. Brandenburg worked with each band offering in the moment feedback, playing tips and notes of encouragement for our students!
