NEWS
Due to ISAT testing, the band will NOT meet next week.  This means no morning band AND no afternoon sectional lessons.  I would like everyone to focus on doing their best on these important tests.

Thanks to all the parents who helped make our Mark DeLay "Tour" a success.  Everything ran smoothly and the kids played well.  The students and teachers of Mark DeLay School were surprised at how well a beginning band could play...nice job!  This "mini" trip is a great way to practice for our larger trip to Justice, IL for the Band-O-Rama Music Festival on April 14th!
