Weekly Update 3/27 - 3/21

Attention parents of 7th and 8th grade band and choir students:   Change of concert date !!! Because the 8th grade Gettysburg trip was scheduled for the same time as the 7th and 8th Grade Concert the date needed to be changed.  The new date is Thursday, May 11th! This is the same evening as the elementary 4th/5th and 6th grade concert .  There "will" be a bake sale in between the two concerts, so please help out the music boosters by dropping-off a "goodie" to be sold that night.  The schedule is below.   Thank you! Thursday, May 11th: 6:15 PM:     4th, 5th and 6th grade report time. 6:30 PM:     Elementary (4th and 5th) and 6th Grade Concert begins 7:45 PM:     7th and 8th grade band and choir report time. 8:00 PM:     7th and 8th grade band, choir and jazz band concert.                     (If your child is a 6th grader who participates in jazz band they will need to remain after their portion of the concert as the jazz band performs last) High Schoo
