Next, unfortunately our Large Group Contest scheduled for May 4 was cancelled due to the severe weather near Hull. At this time I have not received any word regarding it being rescheduled. If and when I do I will be sure to get that information out as quickly as possible so I encourage those following this blog to check back again this week to see if there is more information posted.
Finally, we invite the public to join us this Thursday in Graettinger for the 6-8th Grade Spring Concert which will begin at 7:00. This will feature both Band and Choir Students. All instrumentalists should be in the Band Room at 6:30 in order to assemble instruments, tune, and talk through the concert.
