8th Grade Band will be GREAT!

Here is to your last year of Jr. High! Let's make this a memorable year of music making. We are very excited to continue your individual skills on your instrument, but using those skills to play more challenging band music with awesome performance experiences! We hope you continue to enjoy making music with your band family- and keep growing and changing into the great young musicians you are!
