District Band Update: 5:55 PM, Thursday, February 4
The Fairfax County Public Schools are closed Friday, Feburary 5 and through the weekend. There will be no District Band events on Friday or Saturday; however there will be rehearsal tonight, Thursday, February 4. Students are expected to attend to represent Edison and take advantage of this outstanding workshop opportunity with guest conductors and clinicians. (Families should get their money's worth!) The Director of Bands is already on site, and will see the students there. Per the letter sent earlier, there will be no return bus, so students must arrange for timely pick-up transportation home. Thank you, and we apologize for the inconvenience.
On behalf of the Edison Bands, please be safe during the coming weather. (Plenty of safe, indoor practice time is coming with the snow!) See you next week.

Letter from the Director of Bands
Dear District Band Participants and Families,
Due to the upcoming weather, there may be some changes to the district band schedule. I am attaching the latest information to this message (click here) which shows contingency plans to the best of our knowledge at this time. Please use this as a guide in the meantime until the updated itinerary for Friday is posted on www.hayfieldbands.com (should be up by 10 pm Thursday evening.) Important announcements will also be posted here on www.edisonband.com.
If there are any cancelations on Friday there will be no return bus to Edison High School! Please be prepared to make arrangements to pick up your child from Hayfield Secondary school at the end of the event on Friday.
Highlights from the attached:
- Percussionists report at 5:00 PM, Thursday, February 4, Hayfield Secondary – not a change
- All others report by 7:00PM, Thursday, February 4, Hayfield Secondary – not a change
- Pick up at 9:00PM, Thursday, February 4, Hayfield Secondary – not a change
If FCPS cancels anything, there will be no return bus to Edison.
- If school is canceled on Friday, the event will be canceled.
- If school is dismissed early than students will need to picked up by noon on Friday.
- If after school and evening activities are canceled, students need to be picked up by 2:30 PM.
We are not expecting that there will be any rehearsal or concert on Saturday due to the weather. There will likely be a culminating performance at some time on Friday. The timing will depend on the severity and timing of the inclement weather.
Thank you for your patience as we all work with the weather situation and for your support of your child’s music education.
Sincerely,
Kate Reeves, B.Mus., M.M.
