Message from the director:
Hello future Band Kids & Parents! With the current state of events, things will have to be done a little differently than in previous years, but I assure you I am working hard to make sure everyone still has the opportunity to Be Part of the Band! Music education is more than just playing an instrument. It is immersing your child in a culture of successful students and teachers who care about education. It challenges each child to use the creative side of his/her brain while, at the same time, learning a foreign language…MUSIC. Should you have any questions about band or your child’s participation, please feel free to contact me using the information listed below. Stay safe and know I am looking forward to meeting soon!
