Greetings Eagle Fam! It's another crazy busy week for the band program! Things are starting to wrap up for the program as we are now down to just weeks left to the end of the school year.

Here is what we have going on this week:

BAND REGISTRATION: This Monday, all returning high school band students will need to meet at the band hall anytime between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. With your parents, you will be filling out forms, receiving your gear information, calendar, and all other information regarding the next year's marching band.

JAZZ BAND TRYOUTS: are this Thursday. Please see the flyer that was posted previously concerning jazz band tryouts. The tryouts are now open to all 8th graders, as we will be looking into creating two jazz band classes next year.
