Hello Everyone,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We had a great first day and I am very much looking forward to the rest of the year. \u00a0The band room is looking fantastic with all the renovations. The students were a great help today getting the room back in working order. I hope you will be able to see for yourself at our Band Parent meeting. Here are some details to our upcoming band events:<\/div>\n
