Message from the director:
Welcome to the Gladwin Band family. It is my sincere hope that you and your child will decide to participate in this wonderfully rich program. Bringing home an instrument for the first time is very exciting for a student. I STILL remember opening up my trumpet case for the first time back in fifth grade, decades ago! My most treasured memories of school band are the friends, the trips, the inside jokes, the list is endless. Band really will become a family for you, and I hope you'll join us!
