It is hard to believe that this is our last week until Winter Break!
UGA MidFest Honor Band
Congratulations to Emmett Bush, Lola Crandell, Reese Roenigk, Wendy Whaley, and Abigail Keesling! They participated in the 2024 University of Georgia Middle School Honor Band. They each rehearsed with a guest conductor in the ensemble and presented a wonderful concert on Saturday!
The students were able to watch guest performances by Taylor Road Middle School, Barber Middle School, and the University of Georgia’s Wind Symphony.
Congratulations!

We are so proud of all of the students from all schools present yesterday for the hard work leading up to the audition. Thank you to our Carrollton students who auditioned and who are leaders in our program.
