Good afternoon,
We have had an incredible couple of weeks!
This past weekend our 8th grade band enjoyed their highly anticipated trip to Charlotte, North Carolina to perform in the Carowinds Amusement Park. Thank you students for a great time and chaperones for working so hard to keep our kids safe! Enjoy some pictures below of our trip!
Our Spring Concert on Tuesday was unbelievable! Jazz Band, 7th Grade, and 8th Grade had fantastic performances of their pieces and played with focus and energy. I personally felt like that was our smoothest run concert so far and could not be more proud of the hard work that our students put in, especially with two weeks of Milestone testing. The band staff and parents that helped before, after, and during the concert are part of what made the concert run so smoothly. Please know that our program would not be the way it is without your support.
This has been an unbelievable year. There are many times where a students or a parent stepped in and helped. They made our year run smoothly and allowed for me to focus on my teaching and making sure that our students had fun. I feel spoiled rotten with this band community and am so excited to continue working with many of you next year and beyond. Thank you!
