Concert Wrap Up


All of the band members did a great job at the concert on May 28th! Kudos also to the 6th Grade Band from Franklin Elementary who joined us on the stage. We look forward to having you join us at East next fall as 7th graders!

Students are reminded that summer forms are do - I hope you will consider signing up for one of our summer offerings.

Instruments should go home for the summer unless it is a school instrument or you have make up work to complete. If you have make up work to complete - get it done!!!

I want to thank everyone for a great year and I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing summer - I will see you in the fall (unless you sign up for summer lessons -hint, hint, hint!)
