Mar. 15-19 Happenings

All band students that will be performing solos next month need to be prepared to play through their entire solo by next week as accompanists will begin attending lessons. Please come prepared and be working on your solo. This week we have a three day weekend so be sure to bring your instrument home and take advantage of the extra practice time.
