Upcoming Events
9/9 Percussion Preview
A note from Dr. Frederick: Good morning Band Students and Parents,
I’m excited to invite you to this year’s Parking Lot Preview on Monday, September 9th, at 5:00 pm. This event is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy a night dedicated to percussion, where several high schools will showcase their front ensembles and battery performances. It’s all about celebrating the hard work and progress made, rather than any form of competition.
UNA will also be joining us to cap off the evening!
Your percussion section friends would be thrilled to see you there if you’re available.
Have a wonderful Labor Day!
