What a great concert Tuesday evening; hats off to the students and directors for great performances (even after missing so many rehearsals in February!).
At the concert, Mr. Burke mentioned a handout that explains the band program and course selection -- and also gives examples of how to fit band classes into your High School program. In case you didn't get a chance to pick one up, the handout is attached here. It should be a big help as students are starting to fill out their course selections for next year.
And, once again, here's the schedule for our Festival Weekend.
