Hello band families!
Today’s message is a reminder that we have a special meeting tonight at 6:30pm in Patriot Hall (across from the gymnasium). We’ll be taking a look ahead to next year with all of the planned events and volunteer needs associated to make them happen. This meeting is designed for all returning families but we welcome the input of our “graduating” families as well.
Immediately following the meeting, head over to the auditorium at 7:30pm for “An Evening of Jazz” with the premier US Army Blues and the touring Phoenix Foundation. Our own YHS Big Band will open the show. This event is free and open to the public. Please spread the word – a social media graphic is attached.
Don’t forget that families are welcome and encouraged to attend the assessment concerts this week. It’s a great time to hear the kids at their best!
