Winter Guard is currently in full swing and Large Group Performance Evaluations are next week. We have a packed calendar leading up until Spring Break. Let’s stay diligent and continue working hard to achieve our goals!

Successful All-State Weekend

Joshua Hansen did a fantastic job representing us during the All-State Band weekend in Athens, GA. All-State is a very competitive audition process which began with around 11,000 students and ended with just shy of 500 students participating in 4 high school All-State Bands. Congratulations, Josh on being accepted into this prestigious ensemble and thank you for representing our school and community so well! We are very proud of you!
