Thank you to everyone who came out to support our concert and jazz bands at the Mid-Year Band Concert! It was such a pleasure to host the Corkscrew and Cypress Palm Middle School Bands and showcase our band students and all that they have been working towards since January. Next week our concert bands have their District MPA at Gulf Coast High School. All parents are encouraged to attend, there is no admission charge.

Hopefully, everyone is recovering and getting some much-needed rest from our trip to Universal Studios. The Marching Pride had a hot—but great performance playing Handclap and the Spider-Man Theme. Thank you so much to all our parent volunteers who worked as chaperones and truck crew. We hope that everyone had a great time and look forward to our next band trip, which we hope to do out of state! (Fingers crossed!)
