Fall Concert
Congratulations to all band members on a wonderful Fall Concert! The students played with passion and precision and the audience was so attentive and supportive throughout! It was so much fun making music and having our community in the audience to support us and see all of the growth that our students have had this semester thus far. Please go ahead and save the date for our Winter Concert on Tuesday, December 15th!
Jamie Tuggle was able to capture some wonderful photos during the first concert that I will share the link to.
