Thanks to all who attended the band parent meeting last Monday. It was wonderful to see such a good turnout! Mr. Emmons went over many details that involve the band/parents in the next month. Much of this info you will see reflected in the Weekly Band Update as schedule changes/additions as well as in the info/needs section.
Yesterday (Saturday) we had a Parent Work Day. Thank you to the many parents & students who came to help. Mr. Emmons was very pleased with the work we accomplished!
