End of Year activities and Summer Band Camp

End of Year!

It has been a tremendous year for our band.  Many great performances.  A record number of beginners advancing and a record class of recruits for next year.  I'm very grateful to all the parents who chaperoned, fixed meals, road busses and helped in any way.  Thank you!
