Upcoming Band Dates & Spring Concert Date Change!

Parents,
 
Congratulations to our 7th & 8th Grade Bands on a wonderful Pre-Festival Performance last week!  The judges raved about how mature sounding both our bands were!  We received great constructive feedback and are excited to go back into rehearsals and continue to perfect our music for the upcoming festivals!
