Veteran's Day 

On November 11 the Junior High Band, along with the 6th grade band, will be playing the Star Spangled Banner and America the Beautiful for the Veteran's Day Program.  This will be the first time all of the Junior High bands will be performing together.  

I will post what time and where students will need to arrive closer to the event as I get more information.



7th and 8th grade students will wear their band shirts with blue jeans.  

6th graders will wear either their band shirt (if they ordered one) or the black Inspire shirts they received from the school.
