Thunder Band News 4/17/2018

As we approach the end of the school year, there are lots of things happening to prepare for next year. Please pay close attention to information about ensemble and marching band auditions as it comes out in the next few weeks.

If you have a graduating senior, we will remove you from the email list at the end of the school year. We realize there will be a lot of information that doesn’t apply to your student, but there will be the occasional important item like tonight’s band concert.
