Happy Sunday and a HUGE congratulations to our 7th and 8th graders who performed at Large Group Performance Evaluation last week. They played wonderfully on stage, sight read a brand new piece of music in front of a judge, and represented our school system at a high level.
The students have worked very hard on leading up to this performance and I am thankful for all of our staff for their help in ensuring that the students were safe and were able to focus on making music this past week. Dr. Carr, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Trumble, and Mr. Boyle were all in attendance during our three performances last week. Thank you!
In addition, our high school program had three ensembles perform as well and they did a tremendous job! Congratulations to our band program on a very successful Large Group Performance Evaluation.
