These pictures will be for the 2020-2021 Marching Pride Composite, which will be displayed in the hallway outside of the band room. Pictures are will be taken during class in the marching band uniform. There is no cost to have your picture taken, but families may choose to purchase their pictures. If you would like to make arrangements for your virtual student to have their picture taken after school, please contact Mrs. Robinson at robina2@collierschools.com by Monday, February 8th.

District Solo & Ensemble MPA (February 12-13): Solo & Ensemble MPA will be virtual this year on February 12-13. All performing students will receive a rating and comments from their judge. Since Solo & Ensemble preparation is completed outside of the classroom, virtual students may choose to participate in this event.
