Performance week for all ensembles! Pre-Festival Concert on Thursday for Concert Band, Symphonic Band, and Wind Ensemble! Preview Performance on Tuesday for Winter Guard and MCCGA Championships this weekend! Best of luck to all!
Solo & Ensemble Assistance The KSHSAA Regional Solo & Ensemble festival is hosted at Olathe South HS and serves over 1000 student performances in one day. All participating schools are asked to provide parent volunteers from among their band, choir, and orchestra programs to make this event a successful experience for all involved. You do not have to have a student performing to help, and if your student is playing, you will absolutely be able to watch them! Please visit the following link to register as a volunteer and to get more information: https://bit.ly/RegSEvolunteer2023 Leadership Clinic times this week available during AST.
