Good afternoon, band family! Happy Sunday. I wanted to start this post by saying how much I appreciate all of you. Your hard work, dedication, and willingness to adapt is something that I do not take for granted. From the parents to the leadership and each and every band student. Thank you. I know it is frustrating to have to change plans and make things work. The effort will not go unnoticed in the end. This point of the season is always tough, but trust me when I say that you will be rewarded for your hard work. Let’s push through and make it an AMAZING second half of the season.

Good morning band family and happy Sunday. I hope you are having a nice weekend. Awesome job on Friday night!

Many many thanks to all of our amazing band parents for all they are doing! We all appreciate you always going above and beyond!! Now, here is this weeks schedule 

- Tuesday’s practice will be extended to go from 2:30pm- 6:30pm. This is due to a very large of lost outside rehearsal time. There will be pizza provided after rehearsal!

- Keep up the great work and keep the momentum moving forward. Hard work will always pay off in the long run. Our first competition is ONLY 4 short weeks away on October 9th. I highly encourage you to look at the band calendar to understand what we have for the next few weeks. Attendance is crucial! 

Thanks and have a great week!
