Message from the director:
Learning to play an instrument is a lifelong skill that teaches the whole student. From developing resiliency, musicianship, and teamwork, to helping students develop their social skills and love for all types of music, I am so excited your child is interested in joining band! PLEASE contact me if you have any questions or concerns, including financial concerns about affording an instrument. I am determined to put an instrument in the hands of every child that wants to be in band.
