Jazz Band rocking the 8th grade promotion ceremony!

Paper plate day! One of my favorite days of the year. Who still has theirs?

Today was a GREAT day! Composer Tyler Grant visited Symphonic/Concert Band today. Both bands are playing one of his pieces. His time with us was fantastic! He was a great clinician and our Q and A session was GREAT! Thanks to our friends at Lufkin Rd MS for sharing him with us.

Congratulations to all who auditioned! You worked hard and made yourself better on your instrument!
