Band UPDATE for 2/14 - 2/20

Thanks to all who volunteered to assist with the Grocery Sacking this past weekend! It was a successful fundraiser that we hope to repeat as part of our regular fundraising opportunities! We look forward to visiting with many of our parents and families this week during conferences. As always, if you have any questions, regardless of conference sign-ups, please do not hesitate to reach out

Solo & Ensemble Festival: Students have the opportunity to prepare and perform solos for the KSHSAA Regional and State solo and ensemble festivals. These take place on April 9 (Regional) and April 30 (State.) Interested students should visit with their director and private lessons instructor to select a piece. Students may begin to register via the following link: SOLO & ENSEMBLE REGISTRATION

Band Camp Dates: As a reminder, dates for all our upcoming events, including our summer and fall conditioning and rehearsals can be found on our calendar. Our Band camp will take place July 25-29 for all percussionists, and August 1-5 for all band and guard members, with additional rehearsals on August 9, 11, and 13. Full details including times, locations, and special events will be shared later this spring as facilities and details are finalized.
