Important Carowinds Update

Please ensure that all Carowinds payments are up to date for our 8th graders who are traveling. Unfortunately, we did not have 100 seats filled on our charter busses. The travel company and band program came together to pay for certain portions of our trip so that you as the traveler only had a $10 increase. We apologize for the inconvenience but do ask that you pay this as soon as possible in order to be able to attend on the trip.

I look forward to another wonderful week with our students and hope that you all have a wonderful Sunday evening!

Good morning,

LGPE

Congratulations on a WONDERFUL L.G.P.E. performance! All three bands performed beautifully and received excellent feedback from the judges. It was our first year ever taking three groups to LGPE and it was an honor to represent our school and band program with some of the best students in the school. Congratulations to all. Thank you to Mr. Carr, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Boyle, and Ms. Castaneda for ensuring that the students traveled to and from safely. Thank you to Mr. Carr for conducting in my absence. I hope that our students realize how lucky they are! Additionally, I am so fortunate to work and live in such a supportive community. Thank you to my village for supporting my family during this difficult time. My father loved the Carrollton bands and would have smiled ear to ear hearing our programs this week.

Good evening,

The students did an outstanding job at Pre LGPE on Tuesday. We have listened to our judges tapes and are already working on improving so that LGPE will be successful. Thank you to all in attendance and to Mr. Nelson and Mr. Carr for allowing us to perform on the same night! We have the best school system and band programs!

Congratulations to our Jazz Band on a steller performance on Friday at the Black History Month Assembly. Getting to play in front of the entire school was a treat and celebrating with them was an even better one!
