The Fall Band Concerts are this coming Sunday, October 5 in the auditorium.
The first concert at 2:00 pm will feature the 7th Grade Band and the high school Symphonic Band.
The second concert at 3:30 pm will feature the 8th Grade Band and the high school Wind Ensemble.
Our theme for the fall concert is "Cities and Places", so most of our selections are about or allude to cities and locations in the real world, or perhaps just include a reference in the title.
We appreciate the support, thanks!

College Application Week is part of College GO! And is a national initiative of the American College Application Campaign (ACAC). The goal is to help high school seniors navigate the college admissions process and ensure each student submits at least one admissions application. Many Indiana universities join in the celebration by taking away their college application fees for a week or longer so that students can apply for free.
