Happy Sunday from the Band Room! Only 2 more Sundays in the school year!
Happy Mother’s Day to all of our band moms out there today. Becoming a mother has shown me how much you truly love your children and how much you give to support their passions.
Rachel Wammack (Purcell) concert a success. The band raised $17,000 toward their uniform fund! Thank you to everyone that helped make yesterday a success. It was a wonderful evening of good music.
As we move into the end of the year, please remember that you still have the responsibility to attend grad band rehearsals and play in the grad band. This is a mandatory obligation for all in concert band and will be represented in your final grade.
We hope you take the chance to take care of any outstanding fees before the school year closes.
