The band is still yet very young, a third of our instrumentalists are still in middle school. We expect the number of instrumentalists to grow due to our prospering middle school band class. With a growing band comes the need for expanded instrumentation. Our current stock of aged tenor/baritone saxes, horns, baritones, and tubas poses some issues in reliability, which is why the band is currently raising funds to purchase new/newer and more reliable instruments.
Our bingo on Saturday 10-29-22 was a huge success! We would like to sincerely thank those who donated items to make the bingo possible. Donations were received in overwhelming quantities spilling into the day of the bingo itself.
We want to extend our gratitude to the multitude of community members who have reached out to donate, attend booster meetings, promote the band on social media, make signs, make treat/snack bags, and go out of your way to support our students! Your efforts have made a world of difference for the band students!
