School starts Thursday!
I’m BACK! Hope your summer went extraordinary. You will not need your instruments on Thursday, but you will on Friday. All 8th graders need to find your “Pretty Book.” We are going to do a two week fast forward through the book to get back in the swing of things. High School Band, you are going to be getting new music and old music for pep band. We are keeping Paint it Black, Eye of the Tiger, and a few others from last year and adding “Thriller”, “Breadfan” (A Metallica song from 1994), and a few others. I hope you like them.
Many thanks!
