2ND SEMESTER!
We made it through 1st semester! Thank you to everyone for your effort over the past few weeks, especially those who had to miss school for quarantining and worked extra hard to catch back up. PARENTS: This Saturday 1/29 we will be building bench props for the Winter Guard show! More details will be texted out on Remind.

CONCERT BAND & WIND ENSEMBLE UPDATE — Thank you again to all the winds and percussionists who practiced and auditioned over the past two weeks. Please click here to see the audition results for Concert Band and Wind Ensemble. If you have not played for Mr. Loney yet, please make sure you do this ASAP to finalize which ensemble you’re in. This week, we start Wind Ensemble rehearsals on Tuesdays from 3-5PM and Concert Band rehearsals on Thursdays from 3-5PM. Even if you made Wind Ensemble, you are still welcome to play with the Concert Band! This is a great chance to play more and sight-read additional music.

WINTER DRUMLINE UPDATE — All students should be caught up with the 1st Winter Drumline Donation of $175 so that we are able to get costumes and pay our instructors.
