Performance cancelled!

Performance Cancelled!

The band will not be performing tonight at Open House.  My wife has been admitted to the hospital for emergency surgery and I will not be at school today or tonight.  All students should catch the bus home and not stay after school.

Special Performance for Open House!  

The Walker Beginning and Advanced Bands have been asked to perform Thursday evening at the Open House.  We will be providing a short performance for students and parents of our feeder elementary schools.

This is not a required performance and only a select group of students were invited to perform. If your student was invited they were given an information sheet inviting them to perform.

Students will report to the Band Room at 6:00 PM to set up.  The performance begins at 6:30 and will conclude at 7:15.  

Students should wear their band T-Shirt and Khaki school pants.  Pick your students up at 7:30 at the conclusion of the performance.
