Parents, if you would like to become more involved in the Band Program consider running for President, Vice President, Secretary, or Treasure for the Band Boosters. Another alternative would be to volunteer. The band needs all the help that you can provide in order to have a successful season.
Solo and Ensemble is comming up so please get ready for that. The dates for Solo and Ensemble are April 24, and April 25. All you need to do is play a solo or play with an ensemble for a judge and you will be scored on how well you play, your use of dynamics, and your tone. Practicing will help you get a rating of superior.
