APRIL 30, 2026—The 2026-2027 school year is shaping up to be an exciting one, filled with music, growth, and great experiences in band!

As we look ahead to next year, there will be some changes to the elementary band delivery model. With the opening of the MusicCentre@Dieppe in September, all band classes will take place at the Music Centre. Students will participate in band for one half day each week, providing a unique opportunity to learn and grow in a specialized music environment.

Schools will ensure that students attending the Music Centre do not miss literacy or numeracy instruction. Schedules will be developed to protect these core learning areas.
