Happy Sunday, from the band room!
Lots to celebrate from the last week. Both the Middle School band and High School band made straight superior ratings at the District III Alabama Music Performance Assessment. We are so proud of our students for working hard to achieve this accomplishment!
Congratulations to our students who participated in the Shoals Area Honor Band this weekend. The concerts were wonderful. Aiden Foster and Mary Cole Kinney were both chosen by the Clinicians as Most Outstanding Musicians for the honor band. Several of our students played solos in the concert and played beautifully!
