Great Performance!

Great Performance Last night!


  • Congratulations to all the Walker band members for an outstanding performance last night.  I am very proud of the students who attended and performed last night.  
  • Parents, family members and friends...  thank you for your attendance and help last night.  I am truly grateful for your participation in our events.   
  • Thank you to the teachers and administrators that attended last night's concert.  It was great to have our Principal, Dr. Stout in attendance last night.  

Notes

  • Students, please note that attending the entire concert and staying for the other band's performance is always part of the assignment.  Performances are a project grade.  Being seated in the audience and being an attentive listener is a must.  We must not be up out of our seat or in the hallways during the performance.  Always follow directions.  I appreciate you all very much.  With Love, Mr. Flemons.
