Lots of progress was made this week. We learned 3 full band pieces in a very short week. Next week we will be working to make it sound better as a group. A busy schedule is coming up. Help your student to stay on top of their calendar and their class work. Next week’s clinic and concert are both required events for band, and eligibility does not effect attendance.
