Gift Exchanges, Locker Decorations, Tuba Holiday, it’s the season of joy, peace, and happiness. We are having lots of fun around the Cougar Band Hall. The students should be cooking on lots of melodies. Tubas and Euphoniums should have a packet of music for Tuba Holiday. Trombones will be receiving a few packets of their own. In this season of giving and celebrating, we try to include as many different reasons to celebrate. The Clark Band is a family of inclusion as we lift each other up during our time of musical growth.
