The Spring Concert will take place Monday, May 14, 7:00 p.m. at St. Andrew United Methodist Church. We will provide transportation to and from the concert. If parents wish to transport their student home, please provide a written note or email Mr. Myers. We hope to see you on Monday!

The last few weeks of school are always busy for our program. To help keep everyone informed, we sent home a document with details about the end of the year. Since we know announcements don't always make it home, you can also download a copy.

The concert ensemble audition results are now available to be viewed on Charms. Please note that only those students who auditioned are listed. If you did not audition and are planning on participating in band next year, you will need to contact Mr. Myers. If you would like to discuss audition results, we will be happy to speak with you beginning Tuesday.
