Our High School Concert Band will perform at 3:30 pm and the Honors Band will play at 5:00 pm.
Come support these kids and show appreciation for the hard work they put in.
Due to Band Festival traffic tomorrow, parents picking up their HS student near the band doors after school should be prepared to park and have their child walk out to them instead of lining up at the curb.
Please be patient as the lots will be full and busy.
Thank you!
