Thank you for your commitment to excellence as we delivered another pride filled performance for Friday’s Veterans Day Ceremony. The entire school community was moved by your performance and respect. More quality performances will only happen through good preparation (adhering to instructions, preparing music, schedules, attire, and attending scheduled rehearsals).

This week we must have focused class preparations for our Winter Concert, now less than one month away. We need to be solid before the Thanksgiving holiday so that we can use December for the details that turn the notes and rhythms into music.

Important reminders and links are below. We appreciate you taking the time to read the entire post. As always, you may direct questions and concerns to the band office.
