In case you missed last week’s message, there will be no Graduation Band this year due to transportation. The transportation issue is a district wide issue.
Mr. Brickzin has agreed to allow the 22 band students who were supposed to play in Graduation Band, who have siblings that are graduating, to sit with Mrs. Robinson and Mr. Claro in the area where the band would've sat during graduation. This means that parents will not have to worry about getting their students tickets. Congratulations to the students who have been selected to be one of our 2023-2024 Marching Pride Officers! There will be a mandatory meeting for all officers during lunch on Thursday, May 25th at 11:50am in the band room. Thank you to all who applied.
