The 100th Post

Dear Parents,

We have officially made it to 100 newsletter updates since I began this in 2013.  I appreciate the positive feedback about this form of communication.

In terms of your student's classes, this is the best start to the new year that I have ever had!  All classes can already play at least part of their Band-O-Rama music, they've identified specific personal goals, and they are motivated to make every rehearsal better than the last.  Here are all the upcoming events with dates, times, and participating ensembles.
