Concert in the Round Date Change​
The band's first concert of the year has been changed to Wednesday November 20th to accommodate our drop-block rotation schedule. Parents are still welcome to attend each performance which is held during the bands' respective class meetings on that day:
Concert Band: 1:10pm - 2:03pm
Symphonic Band: 12:11pm - 1:04pm 
Wind Ensemble: 9:20am - 10:13am

A guest-list must be generated in compliance with school visitor policy, and as such we will send out a collection form to secure attendance for the event as it nears. Stay tuned, but in the meantime mark your calendars!
